Is the MK party of Jacob Zuma not really good at these choices?
Amazing to exceed the predictions of almost all teachers and all polls.The country has the country as the third largest party in our electoral system and takes more than 2.3 million votes with them (14.6% of the total vote).
This is an unprecedented view of a party about his election debut in Democratic South Africa.The total quantity.
It was then considered gobsmacking.
So why on earth would they want to run the elections again?
If the call was a sincere party.
But the opportunities are overwhelming that the call is not sincere.
The first is former President Jacob Zuma's beef with IEC, because the body initially did not allow the registration of the MK party because of the suspicion of the submitted signatures of the party, and then announced that Zuma was not entitled to the top list of the top party of the top partyCriminal (an attitude (an attitude (an attitude (an attitude (an attitude that is subsequently confirmed by the Constitutional Court).
As we know, the most powerful of the entire MK party project, Ubaba is not a man for easy to give up.
The second explanation of the MK Party Brinkmanship is the one who is from the daily Maverick'sFree Feryal is hot: Chaos is the point.
It is also the first of what is absolutely the call card for the MK party: attacks on institutions that are fundamental for our democracy.Zuma and Co must suspect IC because it lays the ground for what is going to come: an attack on other institutions such as Parliament and the Constitutional Court.

Okay, what, what did they actually ask?
Spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela said on Friday evening during the press conference of the party: “We are working on our legal team;They have stated that we have to consider a revision.We want a total revision. "
However, this may have been an empty call because the party has also asked a legal question for IEC, which does not contain any mention of an election.

The letter, that daily maverick Confirmed with Ndlela is authentic, required that the IEC would extend the time frame to receive objections until 1 pm.22.30 Saturday.(IEC has already expanded the deadline, but only until 6 pm on Saturday)
MK and a few other parties involved with whom it collaborated, IEC asked IC to postpone the announcement of the planned results before 10 p.m..18 on Sunday until a satisfactory conclusion has reached all objections.
If not?MK "has no choice but to consider all their legal options," says the letter from Boruchowitz Attorneys, the regular one acting for MK.
However, Zuma suggested on Saturday evening that the retaliation - or while he obscured it, "problems" - may also be on the cards if the IEC does not postpone the message.
Is revote -legally possible?
It has never happened before, and apart from something else, it would be financially devastating for South Africans to do elections again: we literally cannot afford it.
Can a judicial order IEC to display elections?
But the Electoral Act seems to give a specific determination of a choice.

Section 56 of the legislation states that if a "serious irregularity" appears to have taken place on a certain vote, these voices can be thrown away.
The Electoral Act gives the IEC seven days after the voting day to explain the results, but also gives the right to vote the authority to extend this period if "good reason is shown".
The law also states that a choice cannot be reserved "due to an error in the implementation of this election or not -compliance with this law", unless this error or failure "significantly influenced the outcome of the elections".
Will the IEC delay the performance report that MK wants?
No. During the IEC press conference on Saturday evening, civil servants were at least determined in those questions as planned, with the announcement of the event up.18 on Sunday.
Regarding how the MK party will answer: let's wait and ask for cool heads to prevail.DM
