The Constitutional Court has declared the Electoral Act unconstitutional.
Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga handed down judgment on Thursday.
This comes after the New Nation Movement's (NNM) bid to allow an independent candidate to run for elections challenged the current Electoral Act 73 of 1998, arguing that it infringes on the right to exercise individual political choices.
The NNM wanted the Electoral Act to be amended to allow independent candidates to run in provincial and national elections.
