JOHANNESBURG - The Electoral Commission of South Africa says its legal team is looking at the objections lodged against it based on claims that the elections were rigged.With over 18,000 votes on the national ballot, and as counting reached 98% on Saturday, the African Congress for Transformation believes it was robbed.
Speaking at the National Results Operations Centre , ACT leader Ace Magashule said ballot boxes were tampered with and further said the current election results are not a true reflection of the political party’s electoral support. This as some parties have been using the turnouts at their rallies to gauge how much support they have."The objections have been noted. We have a full team of legal advisors, and they should have received an acknowledgement of those objections.
“The objections will be considered and dealt with before the announcement of the results, so I don’t have a time frame for that.""It is part of the process of free and fair elections that anyone who feels aggrieved has the right to object to the commission. The commission is currently seized with those."
