A coalition of 11 South African opposition parties that aims to topple the African National Congress in next month’s election risks unravelling after its two biggest members suggested they may co-govern with the ruling party if there isn’t an outright winner.
ActionSA, a member of the Multi-Party Charter , said an ultimatum will be put to the Democratic Alliance and the Inkatha Freedom Party to publicly walk back on their comments that they would consider a tie-up with the ANC in the event that the bloc is unable to form a government, and if they fail to do so they should exit its ranks.
A series of opinion polls show the ANC will win less the 50% of the May 29 vote for the first time since it took power in the country’s first multiracial election three decades ago. The MPC’s members, who are competing in the election under their own banners, are collectively expected to garner less than 40% support.SA opposition groups vow to unseat ruling ANC in 2024 poll
