Electoral Watchdog Accused of Disregarding Rulings
A political pressure group has voiced ongoing dissatisfaction with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). The group, aligned with the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), alleges that the electoral body is neglecting court decisions and hindering efforts to monitor elections.
Mounting Frustration with IEC Responsiveness
Following a recent by-election in Kgalagadi South, the group’s chairman stated that the IEC has remained unresponsive to their concerns and proposals. This sentiment highlights a continuing disagreement between the two entities regarding electoral processes.
Allegations of Obstructing Oversight
The UDC-aligned group maintains that the IEC’s actions impede effective election monitoring. They point to what they describe as a pattern of the commission ignoring court rulings pertinent to electoral procedures. This creates an atmosphere of distrust and raises questions about the transparency of the electoral process.
The pressure group’s repeated calls for engagement and adherence to legal precedents suggest a fundamental disagreement on the conduct and oversight of elections.
