MK Party Declines Participation in Ramaphosa’s Inauguration

Following the African National Congress’s (ANC) inability to win a majority in the elections, an agreement to form a coalition government with the Democratic Alliance (DA) was reached, and the Government of National Unity (GNU) was subsequently founded.

In both national and regional surveys, the recently established MK party received over 4.5 million votes, making it the third-largest party in the recent elections. With this achievement, the 400-seat Parliament gained 58 seats.

The spokesperson for the MK party, Nhlamulo Ndhlela, declared that the party will not be taking part in the “farcical inauguration of Cyril Ramaphosa as the puppet DA-sponsored president.”

“We refuse to dishonor the memory of those who died for our freedom by attending the symbolic union of a compliant Ramaphosa with the oppressive force represented by Helen Zille,” Ndhlela said.

He went on to say that the Umkhonto we Sizwe party had purposefully abstained from the National Assembly’s inaugural session. He called the DA-ANC combination “unholy and racist,” and throughout this session, they voted for each other, weakening the fight for total liberation and land repossession.

Ndhlela charged that by siding with the DA to ensure Ramaphosa’s election as president, the ANC was putting party politics ahead of the welfare of the populace.

This comes after an unsuccessful attempt to have the May 29 elections ruled unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court on the grounds of multiple purported anomalies.
