MKP demands for eThekwini’s final results to be delayed
The IEC expects the results collation process to be completed this weekend.
The uMkhonto weSizwe Party, known as MKP, is requesting that the final Local Government Elections results for eThekwini Municipality be postponed. The party's acting Secretary, Lindiwe Makhubu, has formally submitted an objection to the Electoral Commission, or IEC, alleging a system failure during the transmission of election results.
Makhubu claims this malfunction disrupted data streams and potentially altered audit trails. Consequently, MKP is demanding an audit of the contested results, a suspension of further processing while verification takes place, and an independent forensic analysis. Additionally, the party is asking for the immediate electronic isolation of disputed data.
