The Democratic Alliance (DA) has 35% of voting intentions in Johannesburg, compared with 21.8% for the African National Congress, according to an eNCA/MarkData poll. The results point to another hung municipal council after the local elections, reports TimesLIVE.
Helen Zille, the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) leading candidate in Johannesburg, has ruled out a municipal coalition with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, while leaving other negotiating options open after the local elections. She set out this position at her final campaign rally in the city, according to TimesLIVE.
Polls point to another hung municipal council in Johannesburg, South Africa’s economic capital. The DA is aiming to win an outright majority, but is not expected to reach that threshold, according to projections cited by TimesLIVE.
