The MK Party, with which Zuma is affiliated, has issued a fervent statement reaffirming their commitment to securing a major victory in the polls.

The Constitutional Court’s decision, which was meant to disqualify Zuma due to eligibility concerns, has not deterred his party. Instead, the MK Party claims the ruling has only intensified their supporters’ resolve to vote them into power, aiming for a two-thirds majority which they believe will allow them to redirect the nation’s future.

In their statement, the MK Party criticized the current legal system and the parliamentary system, suggesting that the decision of the court reflects the views of a few against the mandate of the majority. The party emphasized its dedication to the welfare of the “black poor and downtrodden” and reiterated their stance against what they perceive as a colonial system favoring the previously advantaged.
