Failure by the governing party in its bid to the Electoral Court to open registration, would change the face of local government and allow other parties to contest without it in the more than 30 municipalities.
It seems while some political parties expect some gains from the ANC’s misfortunes, the UDM has come out in support of the ANC application albeit for a different reason.
And yet the party followed that announcement with another briefing where Duarte indicated that “the process of registering ANC candidates with the IEC experienced major challenges on Monday, 23 August 2021”. “Jessie Duarte held a press conference saying she had submitted the names of 10 000 councillors. The ANC said they have registered in all the wards. Why all of a sudden have they failed to register in some of the wards? In all honesty, the ANC is not ready to face the voters,” said Mashaba.
The DA, Cope and ACDP said yesterday if the ANC failed in its bid in the Electoral Court to reopen registration, this would change the face of local government and allow other parties to contest in the more than 30 municipalities without the ANC after many years. ACDP leader Reverend Kenneth Meshoe said if the ANC did not take part in the elections it would be a blessing in disguise for the voters in the 30 municipalities.
Political analyst Tinyiko Maluleke said signs of decay are beginning to manifest in the ANC and its inability to pay workers is a symptom of decay just like its inability to register for the elections properly and on time. “But the number of people who came out to vote was less. People register but they don’t come to vote for various reasons. It does not make a difference at all. There’s no correlation, people are asking questions about what is the actuality to vote.”
