uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party’s defiant call for a new vote

As tensions continued to escalate and accusations of election interference swirled, the uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Party boldly called for a new election, adamantly rejecting the announced results.

In a strongly-worded statement, MK spokesperson, Nhlamulo Ndhlela threatened legal action and suggested a potential boycott of parliamentary proceedings to prevent the swearing-in of newly elected officials.

The political atmosphere grew increasingly heated as former President Jacob Zuma tried to make a grand entrance at the National Results Operations Centre, only to be stopped by alert security guards.

This intense situation unfolded during President Cyril Ramaphosa’s speech at the IEC final results announcement for the fiercely contested 2024 National and Provincial Elections.
