# Afrika Mayibuye Movement president Floyd Shivambu says technical compliance should not disenfranchise voters or undermine free and fair elections. In an open letter to the Electoral Commission, Shivambu says two-thousand-274 prospective candidates from 45 political parties were captured on the Online Candidate Nomination System but not finally submitted. He says affected candidates and communities could lose meaningful electoral choices. He calls for urgent, transparent examination of the records and lawful corrective measures, while respecting nomination deadlines and electoral integrity legally.
