The ConCourt has found in the IEC’s favour regarding candidate registration for local polls, irking the DA
“We believe that the judgment shows that the DA’s case had merit and we were right to bring the case to the court, and that is reflected in that no cost order was granted against the DA. It’s not the outcome we wanted, but nonetheless we respect the apex court and judgment made therein,” he said.
“The judgment vindicates the position taken by the ANC that the right of citizens to vote is inextricably linked to their right to stand for public office. It also confirms the correctness of the support given to the IEC’s decision by the ACDP, AIC, Al Jama-ah, COPE, FF Plus, Good, PAC and the UDM. The ANC called on the DA to refrain from attacking the integrity of the judiciary and that of the IEC after its federal chairperson, Helen Zille, accused the party of being tipped off on the initial ConCourt decision.
