NEFF wants Mbumba to remove ECN commissioners

The Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) have called for president Nangolo Mbumba to remove the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) leadership.

In a press statement issued over the weekend, the political party said the commissioners have proven an inability to run the commission and to administer a free, fair and credible national electoral process.

“[This] has not only undermined the principles of democracy but has also eroded the trust of Namibian citizens in the integrity of elections.

As such, we urgently call upon the president of the Republic of Namibia, Nangolo Mbumba, to dismiss the current leadership of the ECN without delay,” the statement notes.

Following last year’s elections, the commissioners told those calling for their resignations to follow the Electoral Act to remove them.

The act states that the president may remove a member of the commission with the approval of the National Assembly on the grounds that the member is guilty of neglect of duty or misconduct.
