The ConCourt is expected to deliver judgment on Monday, on the DA’s application to challenge the IEC’s decision to re-open the candidate registration process for the upcoming local government elections.
After that judgment, the electoral body said parties can register candidates after the initial deadline of August 23.The ANC had missed the deadline to register hundreds of candidates in several wards across the country.
The re-opening of candidate registration caused the DA to go to the apex court to challenge the decision. The Constitutional Court said a few days ago there will be no oral arguments in the case by the DA against the IEC.The DA had argued that the ANC was wrongly allowed to enter the election race through the back door.
But the ruling party said the law allowed it to register candidates in wards and municipalities where it could not field any candidate because of glitches. The judgment comes a day before parties are to submit the list of candidates to the IEC for the November 1 polls.
