IEC notes EFF concerns over alleged irregularities in Mpumalanga
The party is also concerned about the alleged rejection of 65 spoilt ballots in Ward 4
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Mpumalanga have raised concerns to the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) about alleged irregularities in the recent elections. According to Mpumalanga Electoral Officer Gugu Langa, the EFF claims that the ANC received 483 votes recorded on a result slip at a station in Ward 9 of the City of Mbombela Municipality, while the IEC records show 648 votes.
Additionally, the EFF is concerned over the rejection of 65 spoilt ballots in Ward 4 of Thaba Chweu. Langa confirms that the matter has been reported to the national office and that they are currently investigating the allegations. She clarifies that there is no Section 65 objection lodged yet, as the party is merely indicating their intention to file such an objection if they feel the results are inflated, with one party receiving fewer votes than indicated on the result slip.
