  "summary": "The African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) is set to reveal its Manifesto and announce its mayoral candidates for various municipalities during a launch event on Saturday in Benoni. Founded in 1993, the conservative Christian party bases its policies on Biblical principles, with a focus on clean, ethical governance and infrastructure upgrades. ACDP leader Rev. Kenneth Meshoe emphasized this approach during their 2021 local government manifesto, emphasizing opposition to pandemic-era mandates. The party's launch follows several other political organisations announcing their mayoral candidates and manifestos ahead of the local government elections scheduled for November.",
