The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party has lodged formal objections with the IEC over alleged voting and counting irregularities in the eThekwini municipality during the 2026 local government elections. The party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, raised concerns about system failures, discrepancies between electronic results and physical results slips, and issues with the counting, verification, and reconciliation processes. They demand an immediate audit of the disputed results, freezing of contested ballots, and an independent forensic examination of the IEC's systems. The MK Party is leading in eThekwini with 41.09% of the vote and 27 seats.
