The DA’s federal council unanimously endorsed a resolution to continue negotiating with other parties to form a government. The council met on Monday and Tuesday to affirm this mandate.
As the National Assembly’s first sitting approaches, where a president must be elected, the DA’s federal council made the decision to keep negotiating with other parties to form a government. The party’s aim is to ensure stability and economic growth for South Africa.
The statement did not specify the parties involved in the talks, but it is clear that the ANC is part of them. President Ramaphosa recently announced the ANC’s resolution to work towards a government of national unity. The DA has ruled out working with the EFF and MK Party.
Reports indicate that secret talks between the DA and ANC have progressed positively, with discussions on Cabinet positions. The National Assembly’s first sitting is on the horizon, where important roles will be elected.
