Nine party members under the banner of "The Kgalema disputed NEC list" filed an urgent application at the Gauteng High Court to obtain information about the 200 candidates vying for the NEC positions.
The legal bid is an attempt to gain clarity on “certain” information. According to News24, in the court papers, the group called for an excel spreadsheet of all branch nominations received for candidates nominated by branches.
The application comes ahead of the ANC’s 55th national elective conference that is set to take place this week in Nasrec. The group wants the matter to be heard by the court on Wednesday, 14 December.
