LPM Questions Credibility of SADC Observer Mission Reports

The Landless People’s Movement has questioned the effectiveness of observer mission reports, arguing that they lack enforcement and fail to ensure electoral integrity. LPM spokesperson Lifalaza Simataa specifically criticized the SADC Electoral Observation Mission report on Zimbabwe, highlighting contradictions between the report’s findings and official endorsements by regional leaders.

In its 29 November 2024 preliminary report, SEOM says it will provide further analysis in its final report, including recommendations for strengthening Namibia’s electoral processes.
