# The DA has announced four mayoral candidates in Eastern Cape municipalities where the ANC failed to submit candidate lists before the deadline for the local government elections. Karen Smith will contest Sundays River Valley, Matthee Nel for Walter Sisulu, Mbongeni Kotana for Port St Johns, and Star Mvuyane for Ingquza Hill. This brings DA total provincial mayoral candidates to ten. The ANC blames technical problems on the Electoral Commission’s online system for the missed deadline. The DA is urging residents to support its candidates for good governance.
