# ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula believes the party has a strong case before the Constitutional Court against the Election Commission. The party is seeking to appeal last week’s Electoral Court decision, which ruled in favour of the IEC to bar 181 councillors from contesting the November local government elections. The ANC failed to submit the candidates for six municipalities before the 5pm deadline on 28 August. Mbalula maintains that the names were filed with the IEC but that it forgot to press the “submit” button:
