DA in KZN rules out coalition with MKP and EFF
The DA says its dynamics, policies, principles and values are not the same as the EFF and MKP
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal has ruled out forming a coalition government with the MK Party and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). Speaking from the election results centre in Durban, DA provincial leader Sithembiso Ngema made it clear that his party will not work with these two parties. Ngema highlighted significant differences in governance and policies between the DA and the MK Party, stating that the two parties have fundamental misalignments.
He emphasized that the DA is looking for partners who are committed to delivering services to communities, reducing unemployment, and fighting corruption. However, Ngema also pointed out that the MK Party and the EFF have shown instability with frequent changes in leadership, which he believes would not be conducive to effective governance or proper fund management.
The DA's stance comes in the wake of the recent KwaZulu-Natal Local Government Elections, where 33 out of 44 municipalities are hung, indicating a lack of a clear majority and voter frustration with unfulfilled promises from political parties.
