COPE may take legal action to stop the April 22 elections if expatriates living abroad are prevented from voting by government’s inability to process their votes.
This emerged in an exclusive interview given to SATimesonline.com in London by Congress of the People’s president Mosiuoa Lekota.
Lekota suggested they could join any legal action taken by the Freedom Front Plus if the government ignores a Constitutional Court ruling to allow expatriates to vote.
Lekota said he was confident that Concourt would this week give South Africans living abroad the right to vote.
In anticipation of this, he said Cope would be prepared to take the Independent Electoral Commission or government to court if the State tried to argue it couldn’ t cater for the expatriate voters.
