  "summary": "The Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) has expressed openness to coalition talks in Eastern Cape municipalities, according to leader Mzwanele Nyhontso. Speaking at the results centre in Kugompo City, Nyhontso indicated that his party is willing to collaborate with any political entity that prioritizes service delivery. Nyhontso emphasized that this willingness to join coalitions is a strategic move, not a reflection of party principles. He stated that if invited to discuss coalitions, the PAC is prepared to participate, provided they can agree on a minimum programme aimed at delivering essential services to the community.",
