Washington, DC - Secretary of State John Kerry: "The
United States congratulates the people of Namibia for exercising their
democratic right to vote in presidential and parliamentary elections on
November 28.
"Namibia has once again demonstrated its commitment to
an open electoral process and respect for presidential term limits. We applaud
the active participation of Namibia’s political parties, civil society, and
citizens in shaping an inclusive discussion throughout the campaign. The
extraordinary participation among first-time voters and women candidates
reflects the progress that Namibia has made and the commitment of the Namibian
people to a democratic future.
"The United States and Namibia share a strong
partnership. We work together to strengthen health care systems, counter
threats to Namibia’s unique ecosystems, promote peace and security in the
region, and protect human rights for all of Namibia’s citizens, particularly
the most vulnerable in society.
"The United States looks forward to continuing our
partnership with the new Namibian Government and the people of Namibia in
support of Namibia’s development and the welfare of its people." ~ John
Kerry
