WINDHOEK, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Polling stations in Namibia reopened Saturday for the country's second day of voting in general elections.

The polling stations reopened at 7 a.m. local time and long queues were seen in some polling stations in the capital.

In the general elections, each voter gets two ballots, one for picking up a candidate for presidency and the other for choosing a party for parliament.

A total of 14 political parties are competing for the fifth post-independence presidential and parliamentary elections in the country.

Seen as the favorite to retain power by many political pundits and observers, the South Africa People's Organization (Swapo) will cross swords with its political rivals such as the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP), the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA), the Congress of Democrats (CoD), All People's Party (APP) and the National Democratic Unity Organization (NUDO).

Other contestants are the Republican Party (RP), the Communist Party and Monitor Action Group (MAG).

As a political party and former liberation movement in Namibia, Swapo has been the ruling party in Namibia since independence in 1990.

The party garnered 75 percent of popular votes and 55 out of78 seats in the parliamentary election in 2004.

Namibia borders with Angola and Zambia to the north, Botswana and Zimbabwe to the east, and South Africa to the south and east. It is the second least densely populated country in the world, after Mongolia.
