ANC Candidates Disqualified in Legal Blow | Johannesburg News
from Johannesburg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The Electoral Court has disqualified 181 ANC candidates in local elections after ruling that entering candidate data into the IEC’s system before the deadline — without hitting “submit” — doesn’t count as a valid nomination. The ANC argues they did their part by uploading info on time, but the IEC insists formal submission is required. The DA backed the court’s decision, calling it essential for election fairness. The ANC vows to appeal and urges supporters to stay calm while continuing their campaign focus, determined to win votes based on policy and performance.
