The Electoral Court’s virtual hearing of the MK Party’s bid to nullify the 2024 national and provincial elections will not proceed tomorrow.

The matter has since been removed from the court roll and referred for case management.

This comes amid a recent withdrawal filed by the MK Party.

It was followed by the Electoral Commission (IEC) requesting the specialist court to proceed with the matter that made “serious allegations” about the credibility of the elections.

Before the withdrawal, the MK Party turned to the Electoral Court and alleged “serious voting irregularities” in the May polls.

To support its claim, the party attached an analysis in its papers alleging voter discrepancy of just over nine million votes.

The IEC, in response, filed an opposing affidavit submitting that MK’s application is founded on what it terms as a “litany of wholly unsupported assertions”.

The IEC is yet to respond to the latest decision by the court to refer the matter for case management.
