The MK Party recently clarified its position regarding its attendance in Parliament, addressing concerns raised by misleading media reports. The party emphasized that it has not altered its decision to abstain from parliamentary sessions due to alleged election rigging by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), which they claim resulted in significant vote theft from the MK Party.
The party reiterated its commitment to attending Parliament only after the conclusion of ongoing court proceedings, where they plan to present evidence of electoral misconduct by the IEC. They stressed that participating in parliamentary proceedings without a full count of their votes would undermine their dedication to democratic values and the representation of their voters’ voices.
Commitment to Democratic Values
Despite respecting the mandate given by their supporters to effect significant changes, including constitutional reforms and land expropriation without compensation, the MK Party believes that attending Parliament under the current circumstances would be a betrayal. They argue that their participation would be incomplete without the accurate representation of their votes.
Court Proceedings and Evidence Presentation
The MK Party announced imminent urgent court applications to address their concerns about the election process. They are confident in presenting sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the IEC’s actions adversely affected their electoral outcome.
Stand Against Institutional Manipulation
The MK Party reaffirmed its commitment to political integrity, asserting that it cannot remain passive while institutions like the IEC are allegedly manipulated for political gains. They pledged to continue fighting for genuine voter representation and ensuring that every voter’s voice is heard in Parliament.
