Summary
MK Party’s eThekwini campaign is in chaos just days before the local elections, with a last-minute mayoral candidate swap and investigations into councillor list tampering rocking the party. Once seen as a major contender aiming for a two-thirds majority, internal infighting and leadership instability have eroded public confidence and derailed their landslide ambitions. Meanwhile, the ANC dismisses polls showing MK ahead, insisting they’ll retain control through grassroots campaigning. Even if MK doesn’t win mayor, they could still secure key council seats — potentially forcing coalition talks with parties like the IFP to govern the metro.
