The High Court in Johannesburg dismissed the ANC’s application for IEC to de-register the MK party.
The Electoral Court has dismissed the African National Congress’ application for the Independent Electoral Commission to de-register the uMkhonto weSizwe party. The court delivered the judgment in Johannesburg this morning.The court found that the decision that the ANC had sought to bring to the court for intervention was an incorrect one.
The court says the ANC’s application to bring the matter straight to the court would undermine the provisions of the Electoral Commission Act that prescribe that a matter should be ventilated fully through the commission before it is brought before the court.Th court’s ruling means the MK party will be on the ballot papers for the 2024 national elections on May 29.
