South African Communist Party (SACP) Politburo Member, Dr Alex Mashilo, says although they have reservations about certain political parties that may seek to get into coalition with the African National Congress (ANC), they will not disclose their preferences until engagements with all Tripartite Alliance members.
This comes as the ANC’s National Executive Committee (NEC) is set to meet to decide on the constitution of government following a below-par performance in the 2024 General Elections.
The ANC failed to reach a majority for the National Assembly at just 40.2%. The party also failed to get a majority at provincial level in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and Northern Cape.
Mashilo says the ANC leadership should not allow itself to be dictated to by any of the political parties they decide to get into coalition agreements with.
“It should be clear who will lead the coalition agreement. We will indicate to the ANC and other alliance partners that we don’t want a coalition that is against the working class. The ANC is still leading with votes so they must not be dictated to by other parties.
