The MK Party has declared its intention to contest and win control of Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and Tshwane in the 2026 local government elections, according to Gauteng spokesperson Abel Tau. In an exclusive interview, Tau revealed the party’s strategic focus on Gauteng’s three largest metros, viewing them as crucial to establishing the MK Party as a political force.

“We are working tirelessly to prepare for 2026,” Tau stated. “Residents in these cities are hungry for leadership that listens and delivers – leadership the MK Party is ready to provide.” The party has begun grassroots engagement across communities, identifying service delivery priorities like water access, electricity provision, road maintenance and housing solutions.

MK Party Gauteng spokesperson Abel Tau says the party wants to win Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and Tshwane in the upcoming 2026 local government elections. Newzroom Afrika’s @KatSekhotho has more.

Tau expressed confidence in the party’s prospects: “Winning these metros is our clear objective, not just participation. We understand the challenge but believe our people-centered approach will resonate with voters frustrated by current leadership.”

The MK Party’s strategy involves:

  1. Intensive community consultations to shape local manifestos

  2. Mobilizing youth, workers and families as active participants

  3. Presenting innovative solutions to persistent service delivery failures

Political analysts note that success in Gauteng’s metros would dramatically alter South Africa’s political landscape. However, the MK Party faces significant challenges in building organizational capacity and convincing voters to shift allegiances from established parties.

With two years remaining before elections, the party is accelerating its campaign efforts. “This isn’t just campaign rhetoric,” Tau emphasized. “We’re laying the groundwork now for tangible victories in 2026 that will transform governance in Gauteng’s heartland.”

The MK Party’s metro-focused strategy signals its ambition to move beyond symbolic opposition and become a party of governance. As Tau concluded: “The people want change. We intend to deliver it.”

The 2026 local elections are shaping up to be a critical test for both the MK Party and South Africa’s political establishment.
