The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in the Eastern Cape is expected to open a criminal case against the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) on Monday over alleged irregularities in the counting and capturing of votes in Ward 15 in Buffalo City.
The party claims that discrepancies were uncovered during a recount, which resulted in an additional 97 votes being added to its tally.
According to the EFF, 39 of the additional votes were recorded on the ward ballot, while the remaining 58 were proportional representation (PR) votes.
The party is calling on the IEC to account for the discrepancies and provide an explanation for how the votes were initially miscounted or incorrectly captured.
The EFF says it wants answers from the Commission over the alleged irregularities and is seeking accountability for the discrepancies.
