MK party heads to Electoral Court to challenge election results

Zuma’s MK party wants President Cyril Ramaphosa to proclaim a new electionparty is now heading the Electoral Court where its filed an urgent application to have the election results set aside.“There were “serious election irregularities of the nature that it cannot be said that such results reflected a free and fair election and the will of the voters.

The MK party sought for direct access to the ConCourt, which it argued in papers had “exclusive jurisdiction” to decide on its two-part application to interdict parliament’s first sitting from going ahead and included an attempt to overturn the outcome of the national and provincial elections. The apex court ruled the MK party did not make a case for the granting of an interim interdict as it didn’t show that it will suffer irreparable harm if the interdict is not granted, nor that “the balance of convenience favours the granting of the interdict.”MK’s 31 Seats In Parliament Wouldn’t Have Made Any Diff In The Premeditated Marriage Of ANC Of Ramaphosa &The MK party said Zuma will address the nation at a “pivotal media conference” to discuss a number of topics.

“This is regarding the current political situation and ongoing developments in South Africa, covering a range of topics that are currently vital to the national discourse and the future trajectory of the nation.” Despite the MK party managing to get 14.58% of the national vote in the national elections and 45.35% in the provincial ballot to become the largest party in that province, Zuma’s party did not manage to hang onto KZN, and have certainly not been able to dictate what happened at national level.
