The Independent Candidates Association (ICA) says the only way to seek justice, equality and dignity for Independent Candidates is to test the Electoral Amendment Act in its current form in the Constitutional Court.
The ICA and Build One South Africa (BOSA) leader Mmusi Maimane announced at a media briefing in Cape Town that they will challenge the Act in the ConCourt.
This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Electoral Amendment Bill into law earlier this week. The amended legislation makes provision for independent candidates to participate in the provincial and national elections.
Constitutional Court Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga declared the Electoral Act unconstitutional during a successful court bid by the New Nation Movement in June 2020.
