Elections2019: DA under fire over 'mischievous' campaign ad
The DA has come under fire for urging the voters not to vote for small parties, who on Wednesday said the official opposition's campaign was not only mischievous but an insult to them.
"Voting for smaller parties right now is tantamount to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Smaller parties will not stop our demise under the ANC and blurs our focus on the biggest threat to our democracy: one-party dominance," Maimane wrote. Nyhontso questioned how the DA viewed the role of small parties in a constitutional democracy yet there existed a possibility of coalition government.African Independent Congress secretary-general Mahlubi Jafta said the DA election campaign of taking away votes from small parties did not make sense at all.
NFP's Vikizitha Mlotshwa said they had noted the election advertisements of the DA, saying they were an insult to the small parties.
