The ANC is hoping for a clear majority at next year’s election so it can go it alone and not have to offer up the political “pound of flesh” to either the Democratic Alliance or the Economic Freedom Fighters if it is forced to share power, say political experts. The ANC is divided between those who supported a coalition with the EFF and those who wanted to partner up with the DA.
Therefore, should the ANC win a clear majority, it would prefer to go it alone because either the DA or EFF would demand their “pound of flesh” if it fell short at the polls.Political analyst Sandile Swana said an influential section of the ruling party, comprising mainly the old guard, was opposed to a coalition with the EFF because they believed its radical policies were not good and they rather go for the DA because they preferred Western liberal democracy.
Rather, the ANC appeared to prefer to interact with a broad spectrum of political parties, including the DA.
