Delay in ECC Report Cause of Concern
The Electoral Complaints Commission (ECC) was expected to report the findings of its complaint investigations to the Independent Election Commission (IEC) on May 8. However, four days later, the announcement of final results from the April 5 election remains delayed as the public awaits action from the ECC.
The IEC cannot announce the final results of the presidential election until the conclusion of this year's lengthy fraud assessment process. ECC officials have said the review process has been completed, yet the delivery of its findings remains stalled.
