The MK Party, also known as the uMkhonto weSizwe Party, has expressed gratitude to South Africans for their backing as the final stages of vote counting for the 2026 local government elections unfold. The party made its debut in local elections following its formation in December 2023 and managed to secure the third-largest position in the 2024 national and provincial elections, with approximately 9% support as about 80% of results have been tallied.
MKP Head of Elections Lee Mchunu attributes the party's achievements to its election campaign strategy, stating that they operate on a "people's mandate" principle, focusing on delivering what the people ask for rather than making promises. National Spokesperson Sifiso Mahlangu highlighted the MK Party's success in winning municipalities and wards, emphasizing that the focus now is on fulfilling the promises made to South Africans.
