I-National Freedom Party (NFP) isikuchithile ukuqagela okuthi isisungula umfelandawonye omusha noMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) kanye ne-EFF eKwaZulu-Natal ngemva kokuphuma kuGovernment of Provincial Unity (GPU).
UMengameli weNFP u-Ivan Barnes ekhuluma eThekwini ngoLwesihlanu uthe ukuphuma kweqembu kuGPU akusho ukuthi selijoyina omunye umfelandawonye, kodwa kusho ukuthi selizohlala emabhentshini aphikisayo.
“Besinesivumelwano neMK ne-EFF mayelana nesiphakamiso sokungabethembi uNdunankulu. Sigcine lapho,” kusho uBarnes.
Lokhu kulandela ukwehluleka kwesiphakamiso sokususa uNdunankulu waKwaZulu-Natal uThami Ntuli esikhundleni. I-NFP yayiyalele ilungu layo eSishayamthetho kanye noMEC wezokuThuthukiswa koMphakathi uMbali Shinga ukuthi livotele ukweseka ukususwa kukaNtuli, kodwa wavotela ukuhlala kweGPU.
Lokho kuholele ekuxoshweni kukaShinga eqenjini, nakuba eselifakile isikhalo ngalokho.
UBarnes uthe iNFP izimisele ukuxoxa nawo wonke amaqembu ezepolitiki kodwa ayikakangeni kunoma yimuphi umfelandawonye omusha. Uthe iqembu lisakholelwa ukuthi uNtuli “ubuthaka ekuholeni isifundazwe”.
Njengamanje iGPU iphethe ngezihlalo ezingu-41 eSishayamthetho, kanti iMKP ne-EFF banezihlalo ezingu-39. Isihlalo esisodwa seNFP sisabhekwa njengesiqoka ekunqumeni ikusasa lezepolitiki eKwaZulu-Natal.
