On Friday, EFF Deputy President Godrich Gardee said increasing voter registration and encouraging voter participation will be central to the party’s election campaign.

The party says it will intensify efforts to mobilise eligible voters as part of its preparations for the upcoming local government elections. They believe voter registration and turnout will play a significant role in determining the outcome of the November polls.
