However, he said this did not mean that all candidates did not receive their diaspora, inmates and special votes. He said it did not mean issued results were not authentic, but there were those whose other votes from the three pots were not included. Such, he said, could change the results altogether when they are included and tallied up. Bhembe said they would be releasing the results soon and a press conference would be announced in this regard.
