ANC confident of rebound in KZN as Ramaphosa kicks off LGE campaign
ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa is due to embark on a campaign trail in the eThekwini metro
The African National Congress (ANC) is optimistic about its prospects in the upcoming Local Government Elections (LGE) in KwaZulu-Natal's eThekwini metro. President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to launch the party's campaign in the region over the next two days. The ANC lost its majority in the 2021 local government elections, now governing the city through a coalition. Ramaphosa will visit Hammarsdale on Friday, where he plans to meet with residents and ANC supporters.
Mike Mabuyakhulu, the ANC provincial task team convenor, is confident that the party's performance in the 2026 municipal elections will differ significantly from the declines of the previous two polls. He attributes this optimism to the positive changes that have occurred since the 2024 general elections, such as addressing residents' issues and the ANC's close voter contact.
