 ANC will retain parliamentary majority: SA's president


South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa says ANC party will retain its parliamentary majority in May 2024 elections.


South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed confidence that the African National Congress (ANC) will retain its parliamentary majority in the May 29, 2024 elections, even as opinion polls show that the ruling party has lost its popularity.


"The party that I am leading, the African National Congress, is not going to lose its (parliamentary) majority on May 29," Ramaphosa told reporters on Sunday in Rwanda's capital Kigali, where he had attended the commemoration of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.


"Many South Africans still love the African National Congress. And I am brimming with confidence that we are going to do well in the elections. So, watch this space," he added.


A survey conducted by SABI Strategy Group in February 2024 shows that South Africa will likely have a coalition government after May polls, which will elect a new National Assembly. The new parliament will then choose the next president.
