The
Inkatha Freedom Party has decided to make an urgent application
to the Electoral Court after last Wednesday's elections were
declared free and fair, SABC news reported on Monday.
The IEC released the final election results and announced that the
poll was free and fair on Saturday night.
The party took the decision at an emergency meeting of its National
and Provincial Councils in Durban on Sunday.
Speculation is that the IFP may agree to another coalition in the
province with the ANC, but the party says it will not participate
in the national or provincial government while the court case is in
progress.
The ANC polled most of the votes in the province, but failed to win
an outright majority.
Smuts Ngonyama, an ANC spokesperson, has denied reports that the
party's National Working Committee meeting, scheduled for Monday,
has been postponed to allow for extra time in negotiations with the
IFP about KwaZulu-Natal.
Ngonyama says the NWC meeting scheduled for Monday in Johannesburg
will go ahead as planned, and that another meeting planned for
Wednesday will also proceed as scheduled.
Ngonyama says the talks are aimed at evaluating the ANC's
performance in last week's elections - Sapa.
