The African National Congress (ANC) won’t be asking for a recount in Nelson Mandela Bay.
The party’s chief whip in Parliament‚ Jackson Mthembu‚ confirmed this to Radio 702 on Friday morning‚ saying that as the ANC is “magnanimous in victory” it would be the same in the face of defeat.
The ANC had on Thursday lodged a dispute with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) over alleged voting irregularities.
The party’s regional task team coordinator‚ Bheza Ntshona‚ said it had raised concerns about a “systematic attempt to manipulate the outcome of the votes“.
