The MK party is contesting the outcome of South Africa’s 2024 election, focusing on a two-hour disruption to the Independent Electoral Commission’s (IEC) results system. The party seeks to question technical experts regarding the interruption, alleging potential manipulation of the vote. The IEC, however, dismisses the challenge as another attempt to discredit the election results. This dispute follows previous claims of vote-rigging made by the MK party. The commission maintains the system glitch was not malicious and did not affect the integrity of the election. The MK party is narrowing its legal challenge, concentrating on the system interruption as a key point of contention. The outcome of this challenge could impact the final allocation of seats in the South African parliament.
