COPE says willing to form coalitions after local polls
Gauteng provincial chairperson Thomas Mofokeng says coalitions are beneficial to voters.
The Congress of The People (COPE) has expressed its readiness to form coalitions following the recent local government elections. With the country preparing for local polls scheduled for the following week, Gauteng provincial chairperson Thomas Mofokeng emphasized the benefits of coalitions for voters, rather than the party itself.
COPE acknowledges coalition instability in South Africa, citing ongoing power struggles among major parties. Mofokeng has urged the nation to examine the coalition model employed by Scandinavian countries, which have maintained stable coalitions for over four decades. He stressed that studying successful coalition structures in other nations is crucial for South Africa to overcome internal party divisions and collaborate effectively for the betterment of the country.
