ElectionResults2021: DA party leader John Steenhuisen said the party was looking to make solid coalitions that would not fall apart before the next election.
This includes the City of Joburg where the DA and ANC are neck and neck. ActionSA looks set to become the kingmaker there.
The DA had partnered with the EFF in Tshwane after the 2016 elections but that agreement collapsed in 2019.Steeinhuisen said he would not be forming coalitions for the sake of it. “I don’t want to go into unstable coalitions. The situation in Tshwane has been incredibly difficult. Running a minority government, being in council meetings is very difficult to do so. So am looking to have solid coalitions that will go the distance.”
