Pada konferensi pers tanggal 26 Juli 2013 di [[Soweto]], [[Julius Malema]] mengumumkan bahwa partai baru tersebut memiliki lebih dari 1000 anggota, dua kali lipat dari 500 anggota yang diperlukan untuk pendaftaran di [[Komisi Pemilihan Umum Independen]] (IEC).<ref name="EFF 1000">{{cite news|author=SAPA|date=28 July 2013|title=EFF readies for election registration as over 1 000 members recruited|url=http://www.timeslive.co.za/politics/2013/07/28/eff-readies-for-election-registration-as-over-1-000-members-recruited|newspaper=[[The Times (South Africa)|The Times]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130730092849/http://www.timeslive.co.za/politics/2013/07/28/eff-readies-for-election-registration-as-over-1-000-members-recruited|archive-date=30 July 2013|access-date=28 July 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> EFF sekarang terdaftar di IEC, setelah keberatan atas pendaftarannya oleh [[Freedom Front Plus]] (FF+) ditolak pada bulan September 2013.<ref name="It'sOfficial">{{cite news|author=Verashni Pillay|date=5 September 2013|title=It's official: Malema's EFF is a political party|url=http://mg.co.za/article/2013-09-05-malemas-eff-to-contest-2014-elections|newspaper=[[Mail & Guardian]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130907063401/http://mg.co.za/article/2013-09-05-malemas-eff-to-contest-2014-elections|archive-date=7 September 2013|access-date=5 September 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Masa kini ===
Pada tanggal 6 Agustus 2015, EFF mengumumkan bahwa mereka telah mengamankan kasus Mahkamah Konstitusi atas kampanye "#PayBackTheMoney" melawan Presiden [[Jacob Zuma]]. Kasus ini disidangkan pada 9 Februari 2016. Putusan yang dikeluarkan oleh Ketua Mahkamah Agung Mogoeng Mogoeng menyatakan bahwa Presiden saat itu telah melanggar [[Konstitusi Afrika Selatan]], bersama dengan [[Ketua Majelis Nasional Afrika Selatan|Ketua Majelis Nasional]] [[Baleka Mbete]].<ref>{{cite web|title=WATCH: Full Nkandla ConCourt judgment|url=http://www.bdlive.co.za/national/2016/03/31/watch-full-nkandla-concourt-judgment|website=Business Day Live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160404055655/http://www.bdlive.co.za/national/2016/03/31/watch-full-nkandla-concourt-judgment|archive-date=4 April 2016|access-date=10 April 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> Presiden diberi waktu 60 hari untuk memenuhi persyaratan Pelindung Umum [[Thuli Madonsela]].<ref name="ZumaConCourt">{{cite news|author=Emsie Ferreira|date=6 August 2015|title=Lets meet in court, Malema tells Zuma|url=http://www.iol.co.za/news/special-features/lets-meet-in-court-malema-tells-zuma-1896636|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160201155340/http://www.iol.co.za/news/special-features/lets-meet-in-court-malema-tells-zuma-1896636|archive-date=1 February 2016|access-date=26 January 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
Pada tanggal 27 Februari 2018, EFF mengajukan usulan ke Majelis Nasional untuk mengamandemen Konstitusi sehingga memungkinkan pengambilalihan tanah tanpa kompensasi. Mosi tersebut, yang diajukan oleh pemimpin EFF Julius Malema, disetujui dengan 241 suara mendukung dan 83 suara menentang. Satu-satunya partai yang tidak mendukung mosi tersebut adalah [[Aliansi Demokrat (Afrika Selatan)|Aliansi Demokrat]] (DA), [[Freedom Front Plus]], [[Kongres Rakyat (partai Afrika Selatan)|Kongres Rakyat]] dan [[Partai Demokrat Kristen Afrika|ACDP]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Goba|first1=Neo|date=27 February 2018|title=National Assembly adopts EFF motion on land expropriation|url=https://www.timeslive.co.za/politics/2018-02-27-national-assembly-adopts-eff-motion-on-land-expropriation/|work=TimesLIVE|language=en-ZA|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200730215523/https://www.timeslive.co.za/politics/2018-02-27-national-assembly-adopts-eff-motion-on-land-expropriation/|archive-date=30 July 2020|access-date=20 April 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> Pengambilalihan lahan merupakan salah satu dari tujuh pilar utama EFF.<ref name="LandExpropriation">{{cite news|author=Jan Gerber|date=27 February 2018|title=National Assembly adopts motion on land expropriation without compensation|url=https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/breaking-national-assembly-adopts-motion-on-land-expropriation-without-compensation-20180227|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180920012156/https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/breaking-national-assembly-adopts-motion-on-land-expropriation-without-compensation-20180227|archive-date=20 September 2018|access-date=12 October 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>
