Political parties in Namibia wrapped up their election campaigns across all the 14 regions this Sunday in a last bid attempt to lure constituents to vote for them. Namibians go to the polls this Wednesday.

Some of the campaign promises political parties are making are that they will establish and improve infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.

Many Namibians have questioned whether other political parties will achieve similar success as the South West Africa People's Organisation or SWAPO has had in past elections if they are given access to the same resources.

This sentiment comes as some residents in the capital Windhoek express reluctance to vote for opposition parties, citing concerns that the parties do not represent their interests. This general election comes at a time when youth unemployment in that country is at 43%.

Namibians are set to vote for a new President and parliament on November 27, after Hage Geingob died and was replaced as President on an interim basis by his Deputy, Nangolo Mbumba.
