Darren Campher discusses MK Party's growth and strategies for empowering voters ahead of municipal elections.
Darren Campher discusses the MK Party’s focus on addressing daily issues like service delivery while challenging the status quo in South Africa n politics.MK Party), has swiftly become a key figure in the party’s rise as one of South Africa 's most rapidly growing political entities.
He leads a dynamic team, fluctuating between seven and ten members, tasked with producing thorough yet digestible research that helps MPs speak with conviction and clarity on important issues.He illustrated his process with a hypothetical example: if tasked with analysing a proposal to raise the Basic Income Grant by R150 per person, his team would begin by reviewing the current framework, historical limitations, and potential fiscal impact.
The party has attracted several prominent figures, including Campher himself, who transitioned from being a supporter of the Economic Freedom Fighters to joining MKP. However, he remains hopeful that progressive policies — such as National Health Insurance and improved social support systems — will continue to garner broad support, citing their potential to foster equity and inclusivity.
Despite some questioning the backgrounds of certain MK leaders, Campher believes that the party’s ideology is rooted in a genuine connection to the lived experiences of the populace. This understanding of people’s struggles, Campher argues, will resonate with voters in local elections. However, Campher suggests that MKP doesn’t need to compete on PR alone. Instead, it should focus on grassroots work and educating the electorate about real issues.
“You can’t just promise things like free education or healthcare without understanding how these policies will affect the economy and the broader social fabric,” he said. Campher argues that when citizens realise the power they hold as a collective, it becomes much harder for political elites to exploit them.
