The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) has led a protest over the granting of the printing tender for ballot papers to a South African-based company, Ren-Form.

The Republican Party explained that it withdrew from the delegation that went to oversee the design, printing, and delivery of ballot papers in South Africa because it does not support the awarding of the tender to Ren-Form CC.

RP is one of the three parties that pulled out of the trip.
