The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) announced that 1.1 million Namibians voted in the National Assembly elections.

The top five parties according to the results are: Swapo with 51 seats, the Independent Patriots for Change with 20 seats, Affirmative Repositioning with six seats, and the Landless People's Movement and Popular Democratic Movement with five seats each.
