He said he believed KwaZulu-Natal was now a “wide open race” with the advent of the uMkhonto weSizwe party, which had “devoured” the ANC’s structure and support base. “I remain convinced that the DA will be a key part of any coalition that takes place,” he said, adding that “we are hoping to emerge as the largest party in the province”.

A result above 20% would allow the party to approach any negotiations regarding building a coalition from a position of relative strength, and the DA saw this as a “growth election” in which it would build its share of the vote and its role post elections.
