Small parties hire law firms to challenge IEC over poll 'irregularities'

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".which had been "mandated by the challenging parties to release written press statements on their behalf".

None of the challenging parties would engage the media directly on the challenging parties' business, the parties said. They include the United Democratic Party, African Democratic Change, Front National, African Content Movement, National People’s Front and Compatriots of South Africa. After the elections, 35 small parties called for an internal audit of the results and acknowledgment by the international community that the elections were not free and fair.

"This election is not fair and transparent. The IEC has admitted in these PLC meetings that there have been irregularities and some people have been arrested already. We have been threatened by the IEC, they've brought in a judge and we are telling the same judge that we are not going to be intimidated," the ACM's Romeo Ramuada said at a media briefing two days after the elections.

They are exercising their right as long as they have evidence

They should just spend their money on compaigning for the municipality elections rather than on courts.
