The ANC argues that the IEC unlawfully registered the MK party.
As prescribed in Section 16 of the Electoral Commission Act, parties may object to the registration of a party if the 14-day requirement for publication has not lapsed before the Commission renders a decision; if the logo, the name or the abbreviated name of a party would lead to voter confusion, and if the name of the party portrays the propogation or the incitement of violence or hatred or is racist or sexist among others.
Today we are at the Electoral High Court in Mangaung ahead of litigation that underscores the movement’s unwavering commitment to defending Umkhonto we Sizwe as an integral part of the ANC’s 112 year liberation heritage and intellectual property rights.…“The point we make is that the only way that the Commission can deal with an appeal is if the grounds that an aggrieved party sets out are in any of those three.
Meanwhile, MK party members say the ANC is playing cheap politics by taking it to court. They say the ANC did not challenge the party’s registration with the IEC until its leader and presidential candidate Jacob Zuma endorsed the party.
