In a press statement released on Wednesday, the ANC announced that it has had engagements with the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the Democratic Alliance (DA), the National Freedom Party (NFP), and the Patriotic Alliance (PA) in order to bring about a coalition government.
The recent elections saw no single party achieving an absolute majority, necessitating collaborative governance at both the national level and in key provinces such as Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. The ANC, recognising the electorate’s call for cooperative leadership, has initiated talks with several political parties to build a coalition government.
