The DA in Nelson Mandela Bay has applied to the High Court to have the ward committee nomination and election process in the Metro declared to have been administratively unfair and unlawful and that it be reviewed and set aside.

In his Founding Affidavit, DA caucus leader Retief Odendaal states that in addition to several shortcomings, the procedures which were eventually followed were inherently unfair and unlawful.

Metrominute reports that according to Odendaal, it has not been possible to construct a complete record of what happened in everyone of the 60 wards.

However, it will be argued that the picture that emerged demonstrates a level of disarray and inconsistency to discredit the entire process.
