Counsel on behalf of the MK says there is no decision by IEC before the Electoral Court to review.

Counsel representing the Umkhonto Wesizwe party has argued that the African National Congress cannot approach the Electoral Court directly without exhausting the mechanisms available to it through the Electoral Commission of South Africa .

He is arguing before the court in a case in which the ANC is challenging the registration of the party on the basis that the Deputy Chief Electoral Officer, Mawethu Mosery, considered the MK party’s supplementary application.

Mpofu accuses the governing party of failing to act on the November decision by the IEC to dismiss the ANC’s appeal against the registration of the Umkhonto Wesizwe party.
