The Cape Independence Party (CIP)
is demanding answers from the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) after
its name was absent from the political party candidates' lists released this
week.
The IEC made its party lists open to the public, revealing the 14 662 candidates nominated by political parties to fill seats in the National Assembly and provincial legislatures after the general elections.
CIP leader Jack Miller said they did not know why they were excluded from the provincial ballot of candidates.
