Ramaphosa confident ANC will win 2026 local government elections
ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa says he is confident the party will emerge victorious in elections.
African National Congress (ANC) President Cyril Ramaphosa expressed confidence that his party will win the upcoming local government elections. He emphasized that ANC councillors must be visible and live in the communities they serve. Every ANC-led municipality will develop a tailored manifesto and implementation plan addressing the unique challenges of that area.
Following the election, the party's mayors and councillors will focus on publishing priorities and setting service delivery baselines during the first 100 days in office. Ramaphosa stressed the importance of communities being at the center of municipal planning and budgeting decisions, with councillors made more accessible and accountable.
He also highlighted the ANC's commitment to improving the local economy, enhancing service delivery, and fostering a positive relationship with traditional leaders. The party is prepared to serve with urgency, integrity, and accountability, learn from past successes and mistakes, and work to address the most pressing issues faced by communities.
