The IFP has always maintained it is ready for the local elections, Narend Singh writes.

While we respect the right of citizens to exercise their political rights, we must also recognise that even under ideal conditions, not every eligible voter will register to vote. In 2016, the voters’ roll contained 26 333 353 registered voters. Surprisingly, as of September 7, despite the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the 2021 voters’ roll stood at 25 654 362 registered voters.

Regarding the candidate nomination process, it is not accurate to state that there was no opportunity to register candidates. The candidate nomination process opened on August 3, 2021, and political parties and independent candidates had until August 23, 2021, to submit their lists of candidates and nomination documents.

Further, the IFP has expressed deep concern regarding the impact the amendments made by the IEC to the election timetable will have on the credibility of the IEC, as well as the upcoming local government elections.All IFP structures, from Ward level to our Members of Parliament, are being galvanised into action to ensure that our candidates are election-ready and have the best possible support as they embark upon their campaign activities.
