Party abbreviation: IRC
In the 2019 elections, the party will contest in both the provincial and national polls.
The IRC will be seeking provincial legislature seats in the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape and the North West.
It was founded in 2008 and was registered as a political party in 2013.
Thinawanga Ernest Mammba is the party’s president.
The IRC participated in the 2014 general elections in a merger with AgangSA.
However, it contested the 2016 municipal polls on its own after Dr. Mamphela Ramphele’s party ran into financial difficulties.
The partnership secured Agang 0.28% of the votes, which translated to two seats in the National Assembly.
