| | In his own statement, the Secretary-General, after paying tribute to the role played in the elections by the voters, the political parties, the South African authorities and UNTAG, said: "Namibia must become a united nation where the inhabitants of all political persuasions will be able to enjoy their inalienable rights without fear or favour. | | | In his final report to the Security Council, on 28 March 1990, the Secretary-General reported: "Thus was achieved, in dignity and with great rejoicing, the goal of independence for Namibia for which the United Nations and its Member States have striven for so long". | | | In the period between the elections and independence, the Administrator-General remained responsible for the administration of the Territory, and his activities continued to be monitored by UNTAG and discussed as necessary with him by the Special Representative. |

| | The EISA Election Observer Mission is composed of 30 members drawn from electoral commissions, civil society organisations, the media institutions, office of the ombudsman, political parties from various SADC member-states namely, Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. | | | The Namibian Electoral Act stipulates the manner in which voter registration is to be undertaken and how and when the voters' roll is supposed to be made public for inspection by voters and parties. | | | We found that political parties' access to the public media (both print and electronic) during elections tended to be skewed more in favour of the incumbent party and this situation inevitably raised concerns from other electoral stakeholders. |

| | As voting in Namibia entered its second day, the Electoral Commission managed to diffuse a potentially explosive situation concerning the indelible ink which is being used on voters. | | | The European Union (EU) election observation mission said today there was no pattern of double voting in Namibia's third national elections despite fears that the ink used to mark voters easily rubs off. | | | A confluence of regional observers is breaking new ground in cross-border election monitoring-three prominent groups are in Namibia ahead of the country's third democratic polls as part of a long term Southern African initiative. |

| | Although Namibia adopted a unitary state model in the 1990 constitution, some provisions were also anticipated for a degree of decentralized responsibilities at the regional and local level. | | | Namibia's 1992 Regional and Local Authority Council elections are a good case in point. | | | The counting of the votes continued, but the election that ended 342 years of white rule in South Africa was over. |
