South Africa’s opposition MK, ATM parties dispute Presidential poll results
Two political parties are challenging the results of South Africa’s May 29th presidential and provincial elections. They are uMkhonto weSizwe or MK party and the African Transformation (ATM) party. The Mail & Guardian reports the ATM says it is a victim of miscalculations, vote rigging, and voter corruption, while the MK is demanding a recount due to irregularities. Professor Sipho Seepe, a political analyst and former deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty, while there may be hundreds more challenges still to come, they are not likely to change the results of the elections
