"In regards to equality in party airtime provision, there is a policy on equal time allocation by the national public broadcaster, the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) for all political parties. The number of broadcasts received by each party depends on the number of parties registered for the elections combined with the number of broadcasting slots the NBC makes available. In this regard, each party has been allocated five (5) minutes per week whereby they record their information for five minutes which is aired two days later for five minutes. In addition to this free airtime, parties are free to purchase additional airtime from the NBC for further broadcasts."
