DA intensifies final campaign push for votes in Durban

Democratic Alliance leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis calls on supporters to unite behind the party

DA intensifies final campaign push for votes in Durban

As the November local government elections approach, the Democratic Alliance (DA) is making its final campaign push in Durban, framing the contest as a two-horse race between their party and the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP). DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis is confident of securing gains, blaming poor service delivery for growing public dissatisfaction with municipalities.

Hill-Lewis has accused the African National Congress (ANC) of becoming desperate as the election day nears, while the DA campaigns on service delivery, accountable government, and improved municipal services. The DA has called on Durban residents to choose between an MKP or a DA mayor on November 4th, with Hill-Lewis urging supporters to unite behind the DA and Hanif Hoosen. He warns of the ANC's desperation and their potential use of dirty tricks to stay in power.
