Namibians are increasingly dissatisfied with the way democracy works in their country, Afrobarometer survey shows

Both popular support for democracy and satisfaction with the way it’s working are declining in Namibia, a new Afrobarometer survey indicates.

A preference for democracy over other political systems is at its lowest point in two decades, and the same is true of citizens’ satisfaction with their democracy.

Under the strain of a severe drought and the threat of a looming recession, Namibians will go to the polls in November to elect their president and members of the National Assembly.
