ActionSA has succumbed to the outcry from its supporters and says it will not hold coalition talks with the ANC. | ZintleMahlati

The party conducted a survey involving about 30 000 participants, following the collapse of the multi-party government in Johannesburg in September.ActionSA national chairperson Michael Beaumont said: "The ANC got a score of -32% of the favourability index. ActionSA's senate has resolved that there will be no talks with the ANC regarding coalitions.

The DA polled fifth, a decrease from a similar poll the party conducted ahead of the municipal elections in 2021. In Johannesburg in September, the removal of former mayor Mpho Phalatse and intense debate among coalition partners, mainly the DA and ActionSA, showed cracks in the coalition government arrangement.

The failure of coalition partners to reach a compromise prompted a key ally, the Patriotic Alliance, to switch sides, ensuring that an ANC-supported bloc in the council won the speaker and mayoral positions.
