The Electoral Commission has noted the ANC's intention to appeal the Electoral Court's judgment over the candidate submission dispute. The Commission's Chief Electoral Officer, Sy Mamabolo, says the electoral justice mechanism allows for aggrieved political parties and candidates to go to superior courts to vindicate their rights. He was speaking in Centurion on the finalisation of the candidate lists ahead of the November municipal polls. The ANC lost its court bid against the IEC following the exclusion of about 181 of its candidates from contesting the upcoming elections.
