# The MK Party has asked National Assembly speaker, Thoko Didiza, for a secret ballot on the motion of no confidence against president Cyril Ramaphosa. The party says a secret ballot will ensure that members of Parliament can exercise their constitutional duty freely and without fear of intimidation or reprisal. MK’s parliamentary leader, John Hlophe, says this is particularly important given the sensitive nature of the motion and the potential political consequences for individual members. Hlophe says a secret ballot will safeguard the integrity of the voting process.
