Jacob Zuma election ban: How does it affect South Africa’s election?
Quick Glance: Impact of Jacob Zuma's Election Exclusion on South Africa's Vote
  • The exclusion of former President Jacob Zuma from the elections in May is heightening political tensions in South Africa as the country gears up for what is anticipated to be a fiercely competitive electoral battle.

  • Zuma's opposition to the ANC challenges his previous party's dominance and might result in the ANC falling below the 50% vote mark for the first time.

  • While this may dampen the MK's momentum, the 2021 protests indicate that barring him from the election could rally his loyal supporters.

  • Following the announcement, the MK announced plans to challenge the decision. A potential court ruling in favor of Zuma's candidacy could revive his political prospects and present a significant obstacle to the ANC during a period of declining popularity.
