IDEA fails to deliver election report

In an interview with Mmegi, Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) spokesman, Mpho Maifala said the organisation was initially supposed to submit the report last month during the visit of IDEA's secretary general, Vidar Helgesen.

In a media brief here, Helgesen told journalists that the audit report focuses on reviewing the legal and strategic document and target set by the Independent Electoral Commission. It is also expected to put the spotlight on the engagement of IEC staff and external stakeholders to assess their views on the IEC's readiness to preside over the elections. While IEC also announced at the media brief that the report would be available in a few weeks, this has not been the case.
