With Most Votes Counted, Namibia's Leader Faces 2nd Term

Associated Press

   WINDHOEK, NAMIBIA - With more than 85% of votes counted, Namibia's
   president was set to win another term Saturday and already was thanking
   voters.

   The southern African nation's electoral commission said President Hage
   Geingob led with 57% of the vote while opposition challenger Dr.
   Panduleni Itula had 28%. Itula made history as the first independent
   candidate for the presidency, though he retained his ruling party
   membership.
