The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) say it has authorised an internal enquiry to establish the unauthorised disclosure of the African National Congress (ANC)’s party’s candidate list.
This follows a written request to the Commission by the governing party to investigate the circumstances which led to the leaks of the party’s copies of the National-to- National, and Gauteng Regional Lists posted on social media.
