Attorneys for a group of 27 political parties has urgently written to the Electoral Commission of South Africa demanding an independent audit and a delay to the declaration of election results.
The extent of the irregularities is yet to be determined however, and the IEC has commissioned a “soft” or “quick” audit to get a better picture. The complaints raised “are not only material to the outcome of the elections, but by the very nature thereof cast serious doubts over the credibility and the freeness and fairness” of the elections, they said.
