Jacob Zuma, president of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, is considering calling for a postponement of the upcoming local government elections in South Africa. The elections are scheduled to take place between November 2026 and January 2027. Zuma alleges that the 2024 general elections were rigged, despite the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) stating that there was no evidence of voter rigging. Zuma has called on party members to pressure the IEC and demand an investigation into the allegations. The MK Party has taken the IEC to court on numerous occasions, but its initial Constitutional Court application failed. The party is preparing to continue with its legal action against the IEC.
