WINDHOEK, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- Namibia's ruling Swapo party is taking the lead so far in election results trickling in, according to the country's electoral commission.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) could only make available the results of four constituencies by lunch hour on Monday.

The country has 107 constituencies, and only the results of the Omaruru, Otjinene, Rehoboth Rural and Kabbe constituencies have been certified by the ECN.

In the parallel National Assembly elections, Swapo is leading the race with 6,479 votes, followed by 1,719 scored by the National Unity Democratic Organization of Namibia (Nudo) and the new kid on the block, the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP), which garnered 1,525 votes.

A former liberation movement in Namibia, Swapo has been the ruling party in since independence in 1990.

Election observers are scheduled to present their findings over the next two days after voting for a president and members of the National Assembly ended on Saturday.

Fourteen parties and 12 presidential candidates were registered to contest in the elections.
