African National Congress Secretary General Fikile Mbalula has applied to the Eastern Cape High Court to rescind a ruling that halted the party's provincial conference in March.
Mbalula filed the application on the grounds that the original court submission by disgruntled ANC members was fraudulent. He stated that the group had not exhausted internal ANC processes before approaching the court.
A group of members had cited alleged irregularities and unresolved internal disputes when seeking to stop the conference. The court ruled in their favour, halting the event.
A Provincial Task Team has been appointed in the province following the expiry of the Provincial Executive Committee term.
