‘Unsuccessful appeal over PR list can have devastating impact on ANC’
Mbalula says the ANC remains intact and more than ready to contest the LGE.
The African National Congress (ANC) Secretary-General, Fikile Mbalula, has warned that an unsuccessful appeal in the Constitutional Court over the party’s PR candidate list could severely affect the ANC’s performance in the upcoming local government elections. Mbalula stated this to the SABC during a meeting of the party’s National Working Committee in KuGompo City, Eastern Cape.
While there have been some internal disagreements within the party regarding the PR list, Mbalula remains confident that the ANC will contest the elections and is optimistic about victory. He acknowledged that while the party faces challenges, they are not unique to the Eastern Cape due to litigation. "The projection that there is almost a state of collapse and chaos in the province is far from the truth," Mbalula asserted.
