The IEC, this week, announced a new window for registration of candidates who failed to register to stand for this year’s local government elections.
The IFP said granting the chance for parties to register their candidates were merely meant to accommodate the ANC.
He noted that the IFP was not granted the same chance during the 2011 local government elections and the NFP was also unable to participate in the 2016 elections over glitches with the IEC. “They are trying to allow candidates in through the back door that had actually been slammed and locked,” Hoffman said.
