The African Transformation Movement has sought court intervention in the ANC's election list dispute, according to TimesLIVE. The ANC is attempting to overturn an Electoral Commission decision that rejected its party lists and ward candidate nominations in six municipalities for missing the submission deadline. The legal battle widens the contest over candidate registration ahead of South Africa's local government elections.

Several prominent ANC figures, including Chikane, Lungisa and Mafu, have been left off the party's election lists amid internal nomination turmoil, according to TimesLIVE. The exclusions affect key mayoral hopefuls and highlight divisions within the party as it prepares its candidate slates for upcoming elections in South Africa.

South Africa's African National Congress is taking its dispute with the Electoral Commission of South Africa over candidate lists to the Electoral Court, according to IOL. The party said it would provide an update on its candidate nominations and preparations for the November local government elections following the court challenge. The dispute centres on the party's candidate list submissions ahead of the municipal polls.

South Africa's African National Congress has approached the Electoral Court over a dispute with the Independent Electoral Commission that it says has affected 181 of its candidates. The party has rejected suggestions that it is seeking special treatment, insisting its case concerns the fair handling of candidate nominations. The matter now rests with the court, which will determine whether the IEC's decision on the affected nominations should stand or be overturned.

The African National Congress has lodged an appeal against South Africa's Independent Electoral Commission over disputed candidate nominations. According to IOL, the ANC argues that candidates whose details were captured in the IEC system before the submission deadline should be regarded as having been properly submitted, even if the nomination process was not fully completed in time. The dispute centres on how the IEC interprets its cut-off rules for candidate registration.

South Africa's governing African National Congress is set to provide an update on its court challenge against the Electoral Commission (IEC). The dispute stems from an announcement last week in which the party said it had been unable to capture all of its candidates on the IEC's system, an issue it attributed to a technical glitch. The challenge centres on the candidate list submission process ahead of elections, according to The Citizen.
