ACDP tries to stall local elections

By Nadia Samie
If the African Christian Democratic Party has its way, Cape Town may not vote with the rest of the country on March 1st. The ACDP has appealed to the Cape High Court to postpone the local government elections. The shocking announcement came yesterday, when the Electoral Court dismissed the ACPDs case against the Independent Electoral Commission. The ACDP lost its chance to contest the Cape Town election after the party failed to pay the deposit to contest in the metro in time, thus depriving 105 ward candidates the chance to contest.
