7 Opposition parties in South Africa unite in an attempt to secure victory in the 2024 elections against the ANC.

 

In preparation for the 2024 elections, seven South African opposition parties have united under the Multi-Party Convention after a two-day meeting and months of negotiations. 

This collaborative effort aims to counter the ruling ANC, which is facing mounting discontent due to corruption, an energy crisis, and a struggling economy marked by high unemployment. 

Notably, the coalition does not include the radical left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the country's third-largest political party. The leader of the Democratic Alliance, John Stennhuisen, expressed the coalition's goal of ousting the ANC, excluding the EFF, and establishing a multiparty government following the upcoming elections.
