Voter support for South Africa's uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party has risen to 13.3% in anticipation of the elections on May 29th in South Africa, following the Constitutional Court's decision to disqualify its leader and the nation's former president, Jacob Zuma, from running, according to the local Social Research Foundation's opinion poll.The percentage of voters favoring MK has increased from 7.7% in May, as per poll results.South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC), in power for almost three decades, is losing ground but is still projected to be the biggest party after the May 29 general election. ANC support has dropped from 45.9% to 40.8% in less than a week, based on a 60% voter turnout.The constitutional court ruling on May 20 found former President Jacob Zuma unfit to stand for parliament elections due to his 15-month contempt of court sentence. Despite this, Zuma's image will still be on the ballot papers as the party's registered head, even though his name will not appear on the list of parliamentary candidates.
