Election results thus far :

"so far, the status is this.
in presidential regions, a total number of 40000 votes have been counted and confirmed so far, mostly in the northern regions. Pohamba leads by 81.odd %, and by as much as 96.5% in one constituency."
- Bent_Anat (emphasis mine)

Looks like the land reform issue hit a note with the poor, disillusioned electorate whose lousy lives haven't improved one iota since this country become independant.
I guess the vain hope of imaginary free handouts counts for more than realistic goals of better education, reduced crime etc.

Ah well. Surprise surprise, it's Africa after all.
