ActionSA confirms that the 10am deadline for the IEC to remedy the absence of ActionSA’s name from the ballot papers came and went without a response from the Commission. As such, and as per our communication to the Commission, ActionSA will now presume the Commission has no intention to remedy the matter.
ActionSA National Chairperson Michael Beaumont said on Monday that the party’s legal team will immediately begin drafting papers on an urgent basis after its name was omitted from draft ballot papers for Gauteng ward candidates. Draft ballot papers showed political party logos alongside ward candidate names and party names.
