The IEC has announced that there will be no rerun of Metsimaholo’s Ward one by-elections held last week.
There were objections from political parties following allegations that incorrect ballot papers were used and some voters voted twice.
The by-election in the Sasolburg-based municipality left it with another hung council.
IEC Free State manager Itumeleng Liba says all the objections have been dealt with.
Liba says: “We received about two [objections] after the results were announced. There will be no rerun with the information that we received in Ward one or anywhere else in the municipality.”
