Electoral commission refuses to endorse results

    JOHANNESBURG

According to PANA four commissioners have refused to sign because of alleged irregularities in the polling process. But officials have played down the significance of the issue. “What the commissioners are required to do is sign the final results report but for record purposes only,” said elections officer Roosevelt Gondwe.
