[Politics]Incorrect

The African National Congress will conclude its selection of mayoral nominees for the 2026 local government elections by 2026-09-06.

“But we expect all the nominated candidates, and you are correct, in some cases it's a big list, but we wanted to allow communities because we involved communities, we needed to allow that.”

The verdict· graded 07 Sept

By 2026-09-06, the ANC had not publicly concluded its final mayoral nominee selection and was still dealing with election-list turmoil.

The claim required the selection process to be concluded by the deadline, but the research notes show it was still delayed and unresolved on 2026-09-06. That means the predicted outcome did not occur by the specified date.
