Namibians seized their second chance to vote Friday after elections were extended following logistic and technical failings that prevented many from casting their ballots two days ago, angering opposition parties aiming to loosen the ruling SWAPO party's 34-year grip on power.
Long delays at polling stations Wednesday left many of the 1.5 million registered voters queueing for up to 12 hours or even abandoning the wait in polling that was labelled a "sham" by the opposition.
