The DA applied to be joined to the Independent Electoral Commission’s (IEC) application to the Constitutional Court, in which it seeks a postponement of the October 2021 election to early 2022. The deadline for our submission is today, and we have resolved to make it public because the matter is of vital national importance. The DA, as a political party contesting the election, is an interested and affected party and is therefore entitled to join the IEC’s application to the Constitutional Court.
