A general election will be held in Namibia in 2014 to elect a new National Assembly of Namibia as well as a new President. Current President Hifikepunye Pohamba is unable to stand for re-election due to term limits.

SWAPO

In 2008, the SWAPO Central Committee wrote a policy document which stated that the party's candidate would be chosen for each election among the top four Committee members. In March 2011, SWAPO declared that whomever is the party's vice-president following forthcoming party elections would also be the party's candidate in 2014 for president.[1] Some high-level party members, particularly Kazenambo Kazenambo, advocated that SWAPO chose a non-Ovambo candidate, as the first two Presidents, Sam Nujoma and Pohamba, were from the Ovambo people. Others advocated the selection of a women.[1] SWAPO indicated that the candidate would be chosen democratically in the 2012 party election.[1]
