ActionSA is shocked by the decision of the Commission, and the basis upon which the Commission has rationalised its decision. We remain deeply concerned that a Chapter 9 Institution, charged with safeguarding our electoral democracy, can make important legal decisions in this manner.

Today ActionSA has lodged its appeal with the IEC, challenging the decision of the Chief Electoral Officer to reject the registration of our party.
