Municipal elections: DA sticks to its stalwarts as ANC & EFF look to wrestle control of Cape Town

The Democratic Alliance (DA) is banking on its experienced leadership and established track record as it prepares to defend its stronghold in the City of Cape Town during the upcoming municipal elections.

While the party remains confident in its governance, the African National Congress (ANC) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) are intensifying their campaigns, aiming to challenge the DA’s long-standing dominance in the metro.

The DA has dismissed suggestions that there is a real threat that Cape Town will emerge from this election with a hung council.

Political analysts note that the battle for the city is becoming increasingly competitive, with smaller parties also vying for a larger share of the vote, potentially complicating the path to a clear majority for any single party.
