WATCH: DA leaders take 'collective responsibility' for drop in votes | The Star

Pretoria - Athol Trollip, a former metro mayor and senior DA politician, has rallied around party leader Mmusi Maimane, saying the organisation should take "collective responsibility" for its drastic drop in this year's elections.

"Mmusi Maimane led a team - we all take responsibility. There is going to be no irresponsibility about the leadership. Mmusi Maimane is the leader of the DA; he will be the leader of the DA until the next congress . Maimane, who was flanked by other senior party leaders, was upbeat despite the party sitting at 21.55% of the almost 84% of the votes tallied - a drop of almost 1% from the DA's 2014 showing at national level.

— Khaya Sibulele Koko May 10, 2019 "The thing that I celebrate about these election results is that we have demonstrated that we have a diverse base; that it doesn't matter where we've come from," Maimane enthused. — Khaya Sibulele Koko May 10, 2019 Meanwhile KwaZulu-Natal DA leader Zwakele Mncwango said the party doesn't believe most of its provincial voters moved to the Freedom Front Plus
