'We are going to court' smaller parties want an election rerun

Smaller parties brief the media at the IEC Results Centre on Friday.

A coalition of 35 small political parties emerged from a meeting on Friday morning to announce they were still unhappy with the running of the 2019 national election. The party leaders gathered in front of the main stage at the national results operations centre shortly after noon on Friday to call on the Electoral Commission to appoint an independent auditor, not affiliated with government, to examine the results.

The parties, led by Cope’s Dennis Bloem and secretary general of the African Content Movement Romeo Ramuada, called on the international community and election observers to take note of their concerns. Ramuada, speaking on behalf of the parties, accused the IEC of"ducking and diving" their concerns. The parties have also taken a decision to go to court over the results, which they say are not true or correct. Ramuada said the process of filing court papers was already in motion.

Concerns over the 20 people arrested for"double voting" led the smaller parties to believe the process was unfair. This has been disputed by the IEC,

CowansView Small parties must make peace with the fact that they lost, most of them didn't even have money to pay for SABC let alone to campaign, pay for billboards, but they want to go to court.

CowansView The money they use to pay lawyer fees they could atleast use tht money to print CVs and go look for jobs because clearly politics is not their game

CowansView Can these small parties pay for an election rerun
