Electoral court best to deal with De Lille matter, high court says

Patricia de Lille's bid to stop the DA from saying it had fired her and publicly apologise to her, has been postponed indefinitely.

De Lille had approached the high court to seek an urgent interdict against the DA to “stop their lies”. She said the DA refused to stop their messaging about her and instead opted to review the Electoral Commission of SA's decision, which she described as a way to continue “their malicious lies against me”. "The judge was clear that the IEC is a constitutional structure and that the IEC made a finding that the DA"s statements are false," she said on Friday.

The IEC found that the DA had violated the electoral code of conduct after it spread false information about De Lille, who it said was fired from her job as mayor.In the meantime, De Lille had approached the high court in a bid to force the party to publicly apologise to her. De Lille and the DA were embroiled in a protracted battle in which the party attempted to have her removed from office. The fight culminated in De Lille agreeing to resign from the party.In its papers lodged with the electoral court on the matter, the DA is arguing that if the IEC is granted the power to police election speech by political parties, it would ultimately undermine the freedom and fairness of the country’s elections.
