MK party and IEC hold talks over vote rigging claims

The MK party previously challenged the results in the Electoral Court, alleging vote rigging, but later withdrew the case. Despite ongoing talks with the IEC, the party intends to pursue the matter in the Constitutional Court, seeking to have the 2024 results declared null and void. MK party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela stated that the Constitutional Court application is a necessary step to protect the will of the people, as serious allegations about election credibility remain unresolved.

The MK party emerged as the third-largest party in the 2024 polls, securing 15% of the national votes, almost a year after its launch in December 2023.
