MK Party backs EFF's no-confidence motion against Speaker Didiza

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party) has expressed full support for the Economic Freedom Fighters' (EFF) motion of no confidence against National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza. This follows Didiza's decision not to oppose President Cyril Ramaphosa's legal challenge to the Parliamentary Impeachment Committee, instead submitting an explanatory affidavit alongside the committee's documents. The MK Party argues that Didiza's actions create the impression that partisan interests are prioritized over Parliament's constitutional duties. Meanwhile, Didiza denies these claims, stating that the narrative portraying her actions as inconsistent with the Impeachment Committee's work is false. The MK Party has joined legal proceedings opposing Ramaphosa's interdict application, which is set for a hearing in late July.
