# The Congress of the People is calling for the adoption of a constituency-based electoral system that will strengthen the direct relationship between voters and their elected representatives. The party has accused the ANC and its allies of sabotaging the country’s constitutional democracy by obstructing urgent and long-overdue electoral reform. COPE’s Pakes Dikgetsi says the current closed-list proportional representation model is an outdated system that shields members of Parliament from accountability and entrenches the ANC’s grip on power.
