“Whether that perception is correct or otherwise, it undermines the free and fair elections by having different rules for different political participants.” Election2021 iec2021

THE EFF has accused the ANC of exercising undue influence over the Electoral Commission of SA , which it blames for favouring the governing party.

In an affidavit filed by EFF secretary-general Marshall Dlamini, the party complained that there are prevailing suspicions that the IEC made the decision to reopen the candidate nomination process to favour the ANC. ”This clearly evidences the ANC’s desperate need to have the process reopened. One can readily appreciate such desperation in light of the extent to which the ANC failed to submit their lists,” he added.

”That is not free and fair as required by our electoral laws ... The commission must not only be fair and ensure free elections but must also be seen to be so. Its decision in inimical to this and that in itself warrants the reconsideration of its decision,” Dlamini said. Hlabisa said the IEC has already demonstrated in its application to have the municipal polls postponed that there are no factors which necessitate the extension of the candidate nomination timetable.
