The ANC says it will oppose the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) application to intervene in an Electoral Court case involving candidate listings. The ANC argues that the DA’s move could affect the ballot by potentially keeping 2,274 candidates from 45 political parties off the election list.
The dispute centres on the ANC’s Electoral Court matter and the DA’s request for involvement in that process. The ANC’s stated concern is the practical impact on candidate eligibility and the composition of party lists. While the available report focuses on the ANC’s position, it indicates that the intervention issue is being contested on procedural and outcome grounds rather than on a single dispute over one candidate.
In this stage of the proceedings, the differing angles reported revolve around the ANC’s claim that intervention would have wider consequences for many parties and candidates, while the DA’s application seeks to play a role in how the case develops. The case proceeds with the ANC preparing to challenge the intervention bid.
