ACT Party sets service delivery condition in coalition talks

ACT open to coalition talks with any party, provided service delivery remains the priority.

The African Congress for Transformation (ACT) has set a condition for potential coalition talks with other political parties - that service delivery should be the top priority. Following the 2026 local government elections, which left more than 130 municipalities with divided councils, political parties have begun discussing coalition negotiations.

ACT Secretary-General Ntandokazi Ngoma-Mbutuma has stated that the ACT is open to engaging with any party that believes a collaboration could benefit the people. She emphasized that the ACT is represented across three provinces - the Eastern Cape, North West, and Free State - and acknowledged that the dynamics of each province and municipality are unique.

Ngoma-Mbutuma reiterated that ensuring people receive the services they deserve is the most crucial aspect for the ACT to discuss during coalition talks.
