The party's Federal Executive has instructed officials to approach other parties that prioritize clean governance, corruption eradication, service delivery, rule of law, and non-racialism. Following a surge in their municipal vote share to over 24%, up from 21.66% in 2021, DA Federal Council Chairperson Ashur Sarupen emphasized that coalition discussions will be guided by principles of accountability, corruption-free rule, service delivery for all, rule of law, and non-racialism. These negotiations will be managed nationwide under the DA Vigilance Executive's oversight to maintain consistent principles across all discussions. DA Federal Chairperson Geordin Hill-Lewis affirmed the party's readiness to engage in such talks with humility and with the ultimate goal of constructing stable, integrity-driven governments.",
