The party threatened to take action against the commission based on an image of the 2019 ballot the body says is fake.
Small and relatively unknown party the African Independent Congress threatened to take the Independent Electoral Commission to court after the electoral body removed the party from its usual place next to the ANC on the ballot.
“It is possible that some voters may have unintentionally voted for the AIC, thinking they were voting for the ANC … An ANC official said a mistake was the only explanation for the AIC’s sudden success,” Beeld reported at the time. This led to a draw following the signing by parties of the IEC Code of Conduct last week to determine where the three parties would sit on the ballot, following the electoral commission’s decision to separate them.
