In a 49-page affidavit, the ANC’s Jessie Duarte says the DA’s case is fundamentally flawed and without merit

ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte says the DA has not been able to prove the irrationality or unreasonableness of the commission’s decisionThis is according to ANC acting secretary-general Jessie Duarte, as she responded to the

The IEC determined that a voter registration weekend could take place and, as part of this process, reopened the candidate application process. This court can only interfere with the Electoral Commission’s decision if the DA is able to demonstrate that the decision is either irrational or unreasonable. It has manifestly failed to make out a case on either of those grounds.The DA lodged an urgent application to set aside the IEC’s decision. In its papers, filed last week, it said the decision was unconstitutional and unlawful.

The ANC said the order did not prohibit the IEC from amending the timetable to allow for a reopening of candidate nomination processes, adding that it was quite clear the IEC was permitted to amend the timetable, provided it was reasonably necessary for the running of a free and fair election. While the DA did not like the IEC’s decision, this was inconsequential, said Duarte, adding that the party had failed to make its case on the irrationality of the decision.

“In respect of the costs, the DA does not come to this court with clean hands. It has publicly made spurious, unfounded and vexatious accusations about this court and the ANC, in which it claimed that this court had leaked information about the outcome of the Electoral Commission’s postponement application in advance of the hand-down,” Duarte said.
