The African National Congress (ANC) is in discussions to form a coalition government after failing to secure an outright majority in recent elections. The ANC’s National Executive Committee (NEC) is deliberating on potential partners, including the Democratic Alliance (DA), the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), and the MK Party.
The ANC has expressed openness to talks with all parties, but faces internal opposition to a coalition with the DA. ActionSA has announced its exit from the Multi-Party Charter, citing a breach by some members considering a coalition with the ANC.
The ANC’s decision on coalition partners is expected to be announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa, with the outcome potentially reshaping South Africa’s political landscape.
