DA welcomes Ward 99 by-election result in eThekwini

15 December 2022

The DA in KwaZulu-Natal welcomes the unseating of the ANC in the by-election held in Ward 99 in eThekwini yesterday.

This took place after the DA agreed to step back from contesting the by-election in accordance with our working relationship with the IFP.

This would give voters the opportunity to kick out the ANC as well as demonstrate the ability of our parties to work together ahead of the 2024 elections.

It is clear that this combined strategy worked. While other parties seek to undermine and attack the DA, we will work to unseat the ANC wherever possible.

What took place in ward 99 yesterday is a taste of things to come in KZN and sets the scene for a post-ANC coalition government after the next elections.

The DA in KwaZulu-Natal is determined more than ever to be at the centre of a new Government in the province. We are only 18 months away from this reality.
