The24thAGC seminar provides a platform for participants to exploreanddiscusschallengesfacedbyElectoral Management Bodies (EMBs) in their efforts to restore public confidence in the electoral process and rebuild their institutional credibility through effective stakeholder engagement. human rights, security,anddevelopment.

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, Erastus Uutoni said the conference is of great significance as it demonstrates the forum's commitment through the enhancement of democracy andgovernance,peace,andstabilityintheSADC region.AccordingtoUutoni,electionshavebeen known to either strengthen or undermine democracy Uutoni urged political parties, civil society organisationsandthemedia,throughactiveparticipationintheelectionsprocess,torecognisetheir role in supporting EMBs in strengthening the legalandconstitutionalbasisforindependentand impartial electoral organizations. I equally imploreEMBstostrengthenmechanismsforregular and consultative multi-stakeholder engagement throughouttheelectoralcyclebetweentheEMBs, Political Parties and Civil Society Organisations, among others to promote a more participatory electoralprocess.

Inherwelcomingremarks,theChairpersonofthe Electoral Commission of Namibia Elsie Nghikembua said the theme selected for this year's seminarholdsparticularsignificancetotheNamibiacontext,“itisthusmywishthatweallhavean opportunity to learn from different regional per spectives as we discuss the complex issues of political party financing and compliance and its relevancetoaccountabilityasanimportantaspect of electoral integrity It is my assertion that electoral accountability depends on transparency which is also essential to preserve the credibility oftheelectoralprocess,moresowhenitcomesto thehandlinganddisclosureoffundsforelectoral processes.”
