Rejected petition: Local elections must go ahead in may 2026 without further delay
Rejected on
Uphold democracy and insist the elections go ahead in may 2026 unhindered
We see this as an effort to deny us the public of our democratic rights to be able to choose who represents us and more importantly not forcing us to be governed by unelected officials with absolutely no mandate from the electorate to govern.
