The political warhorse is back, but there is some debate over whether the former leader of the party can make a difference in the elections.
The Democratic Alliance is trying to win back the “minority vote” with its move to bring back former leader Tony Leon, an analyst has said.
The DA disagrees, with its spokesperson Mabine Seabe saying: “There is no basis to [that argument]. Tony has been campaigning for the party in previous elections and in the past two weeks so, anyone who can, must campaign for the party.” The move to bring back Leon has been met with mixed reactions, with some suggesting that the DA had completely lost its liberal values and was no longer the party of two decades ago.
