MK Party challenges IEC rejection of candidate list corrections

# The MK Party has condemned the Electoral Commission’s refusal to accommodate its requests to correct and amend its candidate lists for the upcoming local government elections. The party says the requested changes included ward candidate placements, omitted candidates and candidates who have died, arguing that these issues affect its electoral preparations and participation. The IEC rejected the amendments, citing the Constitutional Court judgment in the ANC versus IEC matter, which it says did not reopen the nomination process beyond restoring nominations already captured on its online system before the deadline.
