THERE is great interest in the outcome of the five by-elections which are being contested in Drakenstein on Wednesday, following the expulsion of five ANC members from the Drakenstein municipal council. These five councillors are all contesting their seats as independents, as the party they support, the Congress of the People (Cope), has not yet been officially registered. Voters can vote on 10 December between 07:00 and 21:00. The eight parties that are officially contesting the by-elections are the ANC, DA, ID, FD, NPP, NPSA, PDM and WCC.
