General elections were held in Namibia on 4 and 5 December 1994. Each registered voter could poll two votes, one for president (the first time a president was to be directly elected) and one for the National Assembly. Both elections were won by SWAPO, which won 53 of the 72 seats in the National Assembly, and whose candidate, Sam Nujoma, won the presidential election by more than three-fourth of the polled votes.{{Cite news | title=Electoral Act, 1992: Notification of Result of General Election for Members of the National Assembly| newspaper=Government Gazette of the Republic of Namibia | issue=1003 | pages=2–5 | publisher=Government of Namibia | date=23 September 1994 | url=https://www.lac.org.na/laws/1994/1003.pdf }}
