A top official says South Africa’s African National Congress party will not consider any demands from possible coalition partners that President Cyril Ramaphosa step down as a condition for negotiations
South Africa's African National Congress party will not consider any demands from possible coalition partners that President Cyril Ramaphosa step down, a top official said Sunday, as the ANC attempted to present a united front after a stinging election result ended its 30-year majority.
” The ANC received just over 40% of votes, falling well short of the majority it has held for all of South Africa’s young democracy. It will still be the biggest party by some way. But it needs to talk with others to form a government and to reelect Ramaphosa for a second and final term. South Africa’s president is elected by Parliament after national elections. “The results send a clear message to the ANC,” Mbalula said.
