Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni metros elections could be invalidated following Change Party ballot printing bungle: Analyst

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Elections of the highly contest Johannesburg Metro as well as the Ekurhuleni Metro could be invalidated. That is according to Political Analyst, Professor Susan Booysen. 

This follows complaints by the Change Party that a ballot printing bungle by the Independent Electoral Court (IEC) made it difficult for their votes to correctly vote for the party, which, they say, translates into the elections not having been free and fair. The party earlier on Monday lodged a complaint with the IEC after their logo appeared with a wrong name (Active Movement for Change) on the Proportional Representation (PR) ballot for the Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni metro elections.
