The party accused him of trying to influence the outcome of the May 29 elections and misusing his position as president to benefit the African National Congress. The statement admonished Ramaphosa and called for the ANC to be cancelled as a political party and for Ramaphosa to face criminal charges.

"The desperation and gravity of these actions cannot be understated. By leveraging state infrastructure for partisan gain, Ramaphosa and his ANC have not only undermined the principles of fair play and equity essential to democratic competition but also potentially skewered the electorate's perception right before the national elections scheduled for May 29, 2024," the party said.
