ElectionResults Voting irregularities meant to suppress support base, claim some smaller parties
The parties, which include the Congress of the People , Black First Land First , the Land Party and the Socialist Revolutionary Workers Party, said that alleged irregularities encountered during voting are meant to suppress their support base.
If the parties proceed with their intended action against the IEC, they will appear before the Electoral Court which meets only when cases are brought before it. The court has the power to review the procedural fairness of the IEC’s decisions. Leader of the African Transformation Movement Mzwanele Manyi said the IEC has been deaf to their pleas.
