In the announcement, Mbumba urged all eligible voters to seize the opportunity to fulfill their democratic duty by turning out in large numbers to vote, Anadolu reported.


Mbumba has been in office as transitional leader since February, when he was sworn into office after the death of Hage Geingob, who he had served as vice president.


Geingob was serving his second and final term which was due to run until November but bowed out after announcing he was diagnosed with cancer.
