The National Freedom Party says it will on Thursday afternoon approach the Pietermaritzburg High Court seeking to halt the announcement of the results, following the IEC’s reluctance to accede to a party demand for a recount.

The Party Spokesperson, Canaan Mdletshe says the party is convinced that they have won seven wards in eDumbe, but final results from the Commission shows that the party won six.

“We want a recount of ward 1 and 3 in eDumbe because we believe that we won those two wards, but according to IEC we only won 6 wards out of 10 wards in eDumbe. But our party agents who were there during the voting period and counting got first information that the NFP won at least 7 wards but the IEC says we won 6 and we are not happy about it. We’ve been communicating with the local IEC in eDumbe and without any assistance,” says Mdletshe.
