MKP's victories face ANC, DA and IFP coalition threat
The ANC, DA and IFP have a combined 41 seats in Msunduzi's 81-member council, giving them the numbers to form a majority, while the MK Party has secured 31 seats.
The MK Party has emerged as the largest party in Msunduzi Municipality's 2026 Local Government Elections, securing 31 seats out of 81. However, the ANC, DA, and IFP have a combined 41 seats, giving them the power to form a coalition government and potentially exclude the MK Party from power. In eThekwini, MKP holds 86 seats in a 223-member council, but the ANC, DA, and IFP still have a combined 109 seats, making coalition negotiations more complex.
The MK Party has appointed a seven-member National Negotiations Team to lead coalition discussions and engage prospective partners.
