ALBAWABA - Namibia's presidential office announced the death of President Hage Geingob at the age of 82, AFP reported on Sunday.
Geingob passed away in Lady Pohamba Hospital in Windhoek. Last month, the president revealed that he has cancer.
Acting president Nangolo Mbumba posted on X (formerly Twitter): "It is with utmost sadness and regret that I inform you that our beloved Dr. Hage G. Geingob, the President of the Republic of Namibia has passed on today."
CNN reported that Geingob died at around 12:04 a.m. ET on Sunday, at Lady Pohamba Hospital with his wife Monica Geingos and his children by his side, Mbumba's statement read.
In detail, Namibia's president, who was first elected in 2014, is the longest-serving prime minister and third president.
Geingob underwent in 2013 brain surgery, and last year he did an aortic operation in neighboring South Africa.
