The DA’s case against the Electoral Commission ran counter to the express wording of the Constitutional Court in its order last week, the ANC said in court papers on Wednesday.
In its notice to court that it would oppose the DA’s case, the ANC said the court’s order did not prohibit the Electoral Commission from amending the timetable by the inclusion of a further opportunity for parties to submit fresh nomination lists.
It added that while the commission’s decisions may be challenged on certain “circumscribed grounds such as irrationality and unreasonableness”, the DA may not second-guess the commission. “The DA’s comments were false, but the DA made them knowing them to be false and without any regard to the affect they have on the public perception about the standing and reputation of this court,” said the ANC.
