BREAKING NEWS … Swapo vice president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has been elected as the fifth president of the Republic of Namibia. Nandi-Ndaitwah will be Namibia's first woman president. Her election victory was announced in Windhoek on Tuesday evening.
Historic election results in #Botswana!
The Umbrella for Democratic Change #UDC gains majority and its leader @duma_boko will be the likely new president. #BDP, ruling party since independence in 1966, acknowledged defeat.
Peaceful change of government in #Africa under way.
For the time being, early election results in Botswana seem to look promising for the opposition (UDC)! Could be challenging for the decade-long reign of the ruling party (BDP). #BotswanaElections2024

#CurrentAffairs
South Africa is entering a new political era with the formation of a Government of National Unity (#GNU) between the previously ruling African National Congress (#ANC) and the opposition Democratic Alliance (#DA). This historic coalition, finalized amidst last-minute negotiations, represents a significant compromise from both sides and aims to stabilize governance at both national and provincial levels.
The #GNU comes after the ANC, which secured 40.18% of the national vote, lost its parliamentary majority for the first time since the end of apartheid. The DA, with 21.81% of the vote, has agreed to support President Cyril Ramaphosa’s leadership, marking a shift towards a more collaborative governance model.
