The UDM, Agang SA and Azapo submitted their candidate lists for the general elections to the Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) head office by 3.30pm on Wednesday.

United Democratic Movement national treasurer Thandi Nontenja said her party was contesting nationally and in all nine provinces.

"We are setting ourselves up to take two of those provinces," she said outside the IEC's office in Centurion.

She would not say which two provinces.

"We are hoping to perform better in these elections."

Nontenja and a colleague walked into Election House carrying three files containing the UDM's lists.

Azanian People's Organisation secretary general Lefoka Kganare said his party was excited to be contesting all nine provinces for the first time.

"This time around we very excited. We are hoping for improved performance and better results," he said.

The party's presidential candidate was Jake Dikobo.

Three Agang SA members walked into the IEC office carrying 16 file boxes with the party's logo on them.

The deadline for parties to submit their candidate lists and deposit cheques to contest the elections is 5pm on Wednesday.

Those contesting elections nationally had to pay R200,000 and R45,000 for each province.

Bapela said the IEC would evaluate and verify the documents and candidate lists and inform all parties of any non-compliance by March 18.

"Political parties will then have until 24 March 2014 to rectify any non-compliance.

"The lists of candidates will then be made public from 28 March 2014 to 31 March 2014," she said.

Members of the public and any political parties had until April 1 to object to any candidate.

They do not mention any other parties, only that these registered parties submitted their candidate lists. Maybe COPE sneaked in...

So 17/152 national standing parties at this stage.

EDIT:

- African Independent Congress
- Congress of the People
- Pan Africanist Congress

20/152 candidate lists...

I know. Sad to see a entire political party destroyed by another one in such a blase manner.
Personally - thinking of voting IFP just to support that bill. (Don't use, but know some people undergoing chemo)

Yip. I'm going for IFP national and Agang provincial.

I'm not loyal to any party and change every election. Even voted DA 2009 but after their liquor laws and spamming they can forget it.
