Durban – Inkatha Freedom Party founder and president prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi said on Monday that the party was back in form following its results in the 2019 general election held on Wednesday last week.
The country’s official election results were released on Saturday night in Pretoria and showed the IFP had resurged in KwaZulu-Natal, where it once governed before being knocked off that pedestal by the African National Congress in 2004. Buthelezi said the results confirmed that voters felt the party had approached its leadership transition with “prudence and judiciousness”.
“Let me reiterate...that I will not stand for re-election at the IFP’s next national conference,” said Buthelezi, adding that he had not nominated a successor and would not because “this is not how it works”. “It is evident that the IFP rank and file are comfortable with our decision made during the transition period and will embrace the decision of our leaders, which will take us into the next chapter."
