ANC accepts Electoral Court judgement
Updated | By Anastasi Mokgobu
The African National Congress (ANC) has accepted the Electoral Court's judgement in favour of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party staying on the ballot ahead of the May 29 elections.

The Electoral Court dismissed the governing party's application for the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) to de-register the MK party which is endorsed by former president Jacob Zuma.
The court delivered its judgment in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
In a statement, the ANC said: “It will fully comply with the Electoral Court judgement.”
The governing party reiterated its support for the rule of law and integrity of the country's legislation.
Last week, the party's legal counsel told the court that there could be serious implications for free and fair elections if the MK Party were allowed on the ballot.
It has since clarified that the case was not against the MK Party, but the IEC.
“The case we are dealing with is essentially between the ANC and the IEC. The MK party was invited to participate fully in the proceeding as an interested party whose “IEC registration” could be negatively affected by the probable outcome.
“Therefore, the case is not one directly between the ANC and the MK party, as some have characterised it.
“The ANC upholds the principles of justice and legality.
“We are not opposed to the party's presence on the ballot, provided the registration process conducted by the IEC was in accordance with the law”.
