WINDHOEK, Dec 04 (BBC): Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, from the governing South West Africa People's Organisation (Swapo), has been voted in as Namibia's first female president after last week's disputed election.
The electoral commission said she had won more than 57% of vote, with her closest rival Panduleni Itula, getting 26%.
Following logistical problems and a three-day extension to polling in some parts of the country, Itula said the electoral process was "deeply flawed", the Reuters news agency reports.
His Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) party said it would challenge the results in court. Most opposition parties boycotted the results announcement on Tuesday evening in the capital, Windhoek, the Namibian newspaper reports.
