Video: EISA Observer, Goodluck Jonathan commends, corrects South Africa’s 2024 election 

Published

on

As South Africa begins its general election today, former Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, is leading a special observer mission of the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy for Africa (EISA ) to observe elections, commending the country’s track as an electoral democracy.

Jonathan commended the effort of the electoral commission and the discipline of the voting public in the previous election. However, he noted that some voters were confused about ballot boxes and called for improvement to ensure easier identification.

The election is the seventh general election since the end of the apartheid system in 1994. It is anticipated that 27 million registered voters will cast ballots in these elections.

Seventy political parties are vying for various posts in the elections; the main ones are the Economic Freedom Fighters Party, the Democratic Alliance, which is in opposition, and the ruling African National Congress (ANC).

According to local reports, polling stations opened at 7 am (05:00 GMT) and will close at 9 pm (19:00 GMT).
