## Resource

The ANC is escalating its dispute over disputed candidate submissions, blaming technical glitches in the IEC’s system — though the IEC insists the system worked perfectly at deadline. With over 140,000 nominations processed and 2,000 names unconfirmed, Ramaphosa calls the errors manageable and urges all parties to collaborate to ensure voters aren’t left without choices. The ANC is now considering legal action through the Electoral Court, while the IEC stands firm, refusing to reopen submissions — with final lists due by September 16th.
