The ANC in Sedibeng, Gauteng, has reported more than 30,000 questionable voter records. These include missing residential addresses and duplicate identity details in Emfuleni, Midvaal, and Lesedi. The party is preparing to take the South African Electoral Commission (IEC) to the Electoral Court.
The ANC claims the irregularities could affect the accuracy of the voter roll. The party stated it is gathering evidence to challenge the IEC. The issue involves voter registration errors that may impact election outcomes. The IEC has not yet commented on the allegations.
This follows recent local elections where the ANC faced a significant defeat. With 80% of ballots counted, the party lost ground in several areas. Analysts suggest the elections reflect growing coalition politics. The ANC’s challenge comes amid concerns about electoral integrity. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the ruling party and the electoral body.
