Recent by-elections in Mpumalanga indicate that the Jacob Zuma-backed MK party may take some votes from the three parties.
As the national and provincial elections on 29 May draws nearer, political parties are fighting to either infiltrate new provincial territories or hold onto power they have.
With the emergence of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party , political analysts believe KwaZulu-Natal is the political battleground.However, since then, there have been chaotic scenes in the province. This as the party has suspended some of its members due to its step-aside rule.This follows a social media post suggesting suspended ANC provincial treasurer Mandla Msibi had been appointed as the acting premier.
However, recent by-elections in Mpumalanga indicate that the MK party may take some votes from the three parties. A by-election was held in Ward 04, Govan Mbeki Municipality, on 28 February. The position in the ward, with 3,656 registered voters, became vacant as a result of a councillor’s death. It was contested by six candidates from six political parties – the ANC, EFF, Inkatha Freedom Party , Singukukhanya Kwezwe Christian Party , the Truth and Solidarity Movement and new comer MK party.This is compared to 44.04% during the 2021 municipal elections.Health department scrambles to solve staff and equipment crisis at Tembisa Hospital
