ECN’s Sindano calls for stronger safeguards to protect credible elections

Elections must be airtight, transparent, and completely free of funny business if voters are ever going to trust the system. That was the strong warning from election chief, Dr. Gerson Sindano, who declared that modern democracy lives or dies on absolute electoral integrity. Speaking at a high-stakes, international election resilience training workshop in Windhoek, the Electoral Commission of Namibia chairperson also warned that officials worldwide must be locked, loaded, and ready to tackle unexpected threats to the ballot box.

“Electoral management bodies must be prepared to respond to unforeseen challenges,” Sindano insisted, demanding that officials fiercely guard their independence and credibility to keep public trust from cratering.
