The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK), the political party of former President Jacob Zuma, has announced that it will not attend the inauguration of re-elected President Cyril Ramaphosa. Ramaphosa will be inaugurated for his second term under the Government of National Unity (GNU) on Wednesday at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. The GNU was formed after the African National Congress (ANC) failed to win a majority at the elections and signed an agreement deal with the Democratic Alliance (DA) to form the GNU. The MK emerged as the nation's third-biggest party in the recent elections, raking in over 4.5 million votes in national and regional elections, leading to 58 seats in the Parliament.
MK party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela said the party will not participate in the "farcical inauguration of Cyril Ramaphosa as the puppet DA-sponsored president." Ndhlela also criticized the party for boycotting the first sitting of the National Assembly, where members of the unholy, racist DA-ANC coalition voted for each other. The party will use all legal routes to fight and destroy the incoming regime of Ramaphosa and the DA. Despite securing numerous seats, the party is still disgruntled with the results and plans to challenge the election outcome to the International Court in The Hague.
