EFF in Mpumalanga raises concerns over IEC vote capturing
EFF Deputy President Godrich Gardee says the party has noted irregularities on the results slips.
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Mpumalanga have raised concerns over the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) potentially capturing votes in the province. Deputy President and City of Mbombela Mayoral candidate, Godrich Gardee, stated that the party has noticed discrepancies between the results slips and the system's recorded data.
Gardee explained that the figures in the system do not match the actual signatures provided by party agents. For instance, in Ward 9, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) reported 648 votes for the ANC, whereas party agents documented 483 votes. Gardee emphasized that the situation is a "tip of an iceberg" and urged thorough investigation.
The EFF intends to address these concerns with the IEC, demanding explanations for any irregularities that may have occurred during the vote counting process.
