The Democratic Alliance (DA) Federal Leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis, has concluded his three-day campaign trail in the Garden Route region on Saturday. Hill-Lewis is set to meet with the community in Wilderness, near George, as the DA aims to retain control of the municipality. In the 2021 local government elections, the DA emerged as the largest party in George, securing 46.4% of the vote and 26 out of the 55 council seats.
The party has been governing the area through a coalition with the Freedom Front Plus (FFPlus) and African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP). During his campaign, Hill-Lewis has covered key areas including Mossel Bay, George, and Knysna, with the DA focusing on its performance in local government ahead of the upcoming elections.
