JOHANNESBURG— The MK Party's president, Jacob Zuma, had his knives out against the Independent Electoral Commission and made his disapproval known.

Jacob Zuma accuses IEC of ignoring evidence

According to SABC News, Zuma addressed the media and the country during his press briefing in Sandton on 16 June. In a statement, Zuma said the IEC intentionally ignored evidence the party brought to it. Zuma said the party gave the Commission concrete evidence to prove irregular voting during the 2024 general elections.

Zuma, also a member of the African National Congress, accused his party of opposing progress. He added that as long as he was still a member of the ANC, he would find means within the party to continue exposing the agents of white monopoly capital.
