South Africa’s Electoral Court has overturned a previous decision, granting former President Jacob Zuma eligibility to run for office as a lawmaker in the upcoming election.
This ruling sets the stage for Zuma to potentially contest the presidency under the banner of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party, which he joined after parting ways with the ruling African National Congress.
Initially barred from candidacy due to a criminal record, Zuma’s successful appeal clears the path for his participation despite past legal challenges.
