The United Democratic Movement (UDM) takes its candidate-list dispute to court after Buffalo City ward candidates remain off the certified list issued by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). The party’s legal action follows a situation in which UDM’s ward candidates are not shown on the IEC’s certified list for the upcoming election.
According to the report, UDM Buffalo City mayoral candidate Ngabayomzi Kwankwa is currently the only UDM candidate appearing on the party’s Proportional Representation (PR) list. The ward candidates’ absence from the certified IEC list is the core issue prompting the court challenge.
The available coverage focuses on the procedural status of the candidates on different electoral lists—highlighting that the UDM presence on the PR list does not extend to ward nominations in Buffalo City. The differing angle across outlets, where present, would typically concern the party’s complaint versus the IEC’s certification approach, but the provided information centers on the UDM’s claim of wrongful exclusion and its decision to seek judicial intervention.
