  "summary": "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.",
