Vote DA to hold Ramaphosa accountable for desecrating the presidency
27 May 2024
The Democratic Alliance (DA) will file an application in the Electoral Court against ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa, citing Ramaphosa in his personal capacity for violating the Electoral Code of Conduct.
Among other provisions, the Code as contained in the Electoral Act states expressly that “no person may abuse a position of power, privilege or influence, including parental, patriarchal, traditional or employment authority, to influence the conduct or outcome of an election.”
Under the guise of delivering an “address to the nation” last night, Ramaphosa violated the Electoral Code of Conduct when he abused the highest office in the land for flagrant electioneering. Ramaphosa’s manipulation was cynical, calculated and designed to influence the outcome of the election by providing the ANC with unearned airtime not made available to any other party contesting the election.
Not for the first time, Ramaphosa has chosen his corrupt political party over South Africa. As the President, he should have known better and must be held to account. This type of abuse cannot be allowed by anyone.
