The IEC has apologised to the Change Party for an error on the proportional representation (PR) ballot papers in Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg.
According to reports, the party’s president Lesiba Molokomme raised the matter with the commission after it was discovered that the party’s name had been replaced with that of another party on the PR ballot papers in both metros.
Reading a joint statement at the national results centre in Pretoria on Monday, Moepya said the leadership of Change Party approached the matter with the view to seeking a resolution in the national interest, and not just for their party’s interest.
