Al Jama-ha hopes to win municipalities and grow strategically

Al Jama-ah says it hopes to win some wards in different municipalities and expand its influence

As the 2026 Local Government Elections continue to progress, political parties anxiously await the results while Al Jama-ah expresses its aspirations for municipal victories and strategic growth. The party aims to secure a few wards across various municipalities and potentially claim mayoral positions, with party leader Imraan Ismail-Moosa stating that it aims to become a "kingmaker" in local government.

The party's representation in the City of Johannesburg previously included several mayors, a situation that Ismail-Moosa hopes could be replicated, yielding additional mayoral and strategic positions under the Al Jama-ah banner.
