JOHANNESBURG - Former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo says the Independent Electoral Commission must disclose the names of those who are objecting to his deployment to Parliament.
Mahumapelo said on Saturday he had written to the IEC requesting information about the complaint against him following alleged objections to his name being included on the African National Congress 's list of candidates to Parliament.The IEC said it had received objections to over 50 candidates submitted.“They must not hide, that’s why I’ve written to the IEC because I want to know who are those people and what are the issues.
This follows the ANC national executive committee ’s decision to send all names to the commission where individuals who are found wanting will get a chance to present their case to the body. ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte said that the integrity commission will make recommendations to the NEC on the appropriate action that should be taken against members who do not survive the review.

ANALYSIS: Ace Magashule & the ANC election lists: Nineteen years of strife and manipulationThe ANC NEC on Tuesday dismissed claims that its 2019 election candidates lists had been tampered with as ‘unfounded’. But it didn’t exactly close ranks to defend its secretary-general, Ace Magashule, who had driven the list processes. Instead, all lists were sent to the ANC integrity commission for further scrutiny.
