On 2026-10-15 the Constitutional Court ruled for the ANC, overturning the Electoral Court decision and ordering the IEC to include the party's lists, covering 181 candidates in six municipalities, on the 4 November ballots.
The claim specified a ConCourt win against the Electoral Court ruling on lists in six municipalities. Three dated passages confirm the court set aside the IEC's refusal and overturned the Electoral Court, matching every detail of the claim.
