Lawyers representing the multi-party forum will on Thursday file a legal challenge with the electoral court in a bid to force the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) chairperson Pansy Tlakula to step down.

Opposition parties, including the United Democratic Movement, African Christian Democratic Party, United Christian Democratic Party, Economic Freedom Fighters and Cope believe that Tlakula’s reputation has been tainted.

This was after a treasury forensic report and the public protector revealed allegations of irregularities against her during the procurement of IEC head offices in Pretoria.

The Chairperson of the Forum, Bantu Holomisa says: “I confirm that the Webber Wenzel legal firm was instructed by the multi-party forum to go ahead with the application, file it with the electoral court so their deadline is Thursday.”
