SAElections2019 IEC to oppose ATC bid in the Electoral Court to have ATM deregistered from elections | Sesona_Ngqaks
The Electoral Commission of SA says it will"strongly oppose" a bid from breakaway group African Transformation Council which has called for its parent party, the African Transformation Movement to be de-registered.
IEC deputy CEO Masego Shiburi said it is yet to study the contents of the court papers brought by the ATC."The party has approached the Electoral Court to ask for relief in the following terms, that the Chief Electoral Office erred in registering ATM as a party. We have just received the papers and we will consider them," Shiburi said.
This was after the FF Plus had approached the court in its bid to have the BLF de-registered from the elections. In terms of independent candidates, the commission said it would abide by the Constitutional Court's ruling, which is yet to be made.
