The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has officially recognised the Association of Localised Interest (Asoli) as a registered political association, following its successful application under the Electoral Act.
Asoli received its certificate of registration during a brief handover ceremony led by ECN chief electoral and referenda officer Peter Shaama in Windhoek.
The registration falls under Section 149(1) of the Electoral Act, Act 5 of 2014, as amended.
Godfried Kauhanda, Asoli’s authorised representative, accepted the certificate.
“With this registration, the number of registered organisations and associations currently on the ECN’s register now stands at 18,” Shaama confirms.
Asoli will operate within the Windhoek Local Authority area and becomes the latest political grouping to enter the local governance arena as preparations continue for upcoming elections.
