Twelve political parties that contested the general elections on May 8 will take legal action against the Electoral Commission (IEC) regarding 'irregularities' in the process

The parties said they would not reveal the details of their action yet,"except by stating that in terms of the challenging parties' accepted advice it will be most problematic to refute certain already identified irregularities that materially affected the freedom and fairness of the 2019 elections".

None of the challenging parties would engage the media directly on the challenging parties' business, the parties said.
