uMkhonto we Sizwe Party (MK Party) leader and former President Jacob Zuma says he remains hopeful of a win in the Electoral Court against the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) regarding allegations of voter fraud in the 29 May general elections.
Zuma addressed thousands of party members and supporters at MK Party’s first anniversary rally at Durban’s Moses Mabhida stadium.
Last week, senior party leaders said that they would not back down on their belief that MK Party was robbed of a victory in the May polls and planned to pursue this through the courts next year.
“Let us unite so we can get overwhelming votes in the upcoming 2026 local government election. We need to reclaim our country and votes. I am optimistic that we have a strong case against those we are taking to court for Electoral Court. They rigged and took our votes. They distributed our votes amongst themselves. They will lose this case,” says Zuma.

Formidable leadership
Meanwhile, Secretary General of the MK Party Floyd Shivambu says the party has the most committed leader in the history of South African politics.
Shivambu joined the party in August after leaving the EFF.
“Long live president Jacob Zuma, long live. We have in MKP the most formidable, the most trustworthy, the most experienced president. You can compare with all other organisations in the country. In his history and currently the MK Party president is the most formidable in South Africa’s history of politics.”
