Delivering the state of the party report at the DA congress in Midrand on Sunday, Steenhuisen said the DA was entering the upcoming elections in a strong position, with leadership that will be expected to ensure a decisive victory at the polls.
JOHANNESBURG - Democratic Alliance leader John Steenhuisen said the 2024 general elections will be a two-horse race, with either his party or the African National Congress emerging as leading coalition partners.
It's the second and final day of the gathering where new leadership is expected to be announced later in the day. "While there'll be many more parties on the ballot paper than ever before, it's becoming increasingly clear to everybody that this is a two-horse race. Even without outright majorities, there's only one of two parties that can emerge at the centre of a coalition government. And that is either the DA or the ANC.
Steenhuisen said while the future of governance in South Africa is coalitions, the party should be careful of splinter parties.
