MK Party MP Backs Zuma’s Call to Delay Elective Conference, Citing Need for Unity

MK Party MP Backs Zuma’s Call to Delay Elective Conference, Citing Need for Unity

uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party MP Sbonelo Nomvalo has publicly supported party leader Jacob Zuma’s position that the movement is not yet ready to hold an elective conference, warning that premature internal contests could fracture the fledgling political force.

In a Monday interview, Nomvalo argued the party – which shocked South African politics by becoming parliament’s third-largest party in the May 29 elections – must prioritize organizational stability over leadership contests.

“We align with President Zuma’s view that an elective conference now would be premature,” said Nomvalo. “Our focus must be on building structures, cementing our ideological foundation, and maintaining cohesion. Elective conferences are inherently divisive, and we cannot afford that during this formative phase.”

The statement comes amid growing calls from some quarters for the MK Party to formalize its leadership structures following its electoral success. However, Zuma has consistently maintained that grassroots mobilization and unity should take precedence over internal elections.

Nomvalo emphasized the party is developing clear guidelines for leadership selection, member accountability and policy direction. “This foundational work cannot be rushed. Our supporters trust President Zuma’s leadership, and we must use this period to build a resilient, focused organization,” he stated.

The MP cautioned against “short-term gratification,” arguing the party’s explosive growth requires careful consolidation. “There’s an appropriate time for everything. Right now, MK needs unity, discipline and mobilization more than leadership contests that could undo our progress.”

Zuma recently told supporters an elective conference would only occur after completing necessary groundwork and ensuring conditions for a fair, unifying process.

While some analysts warn prolonged delays could fuel power struggles and democratic concerns, Nomvalo framed the approach as strategic: “We’re choosing institutional strength over rushed processes. When we do hold our conference, we want it to strengthen rather than divide the movement.”

The debate highlights the MK Party’s delicate balancing act – maintaining revolutionary momentum while building sustainable structures. As Nomvalo noted: “First we must prove we’re more than an election phenomenon. Only then should we test our internal democracy.”

Political observers will be watching whether this “stability first” approach can sustain the party’s momentum or if pressure for formal leadership transitions will eventually force Zuma’s hand. For now, the MK leadership appears united in believing their grassroots revolution needs more time before facing internal electoral contests.
