South Africa’s ANC searches for coalition partner to form government
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is in search of partners to build a coalition government. This, after results from the May 29th presidential and provincial elections announced Sunday night showed the ruling African National Congress (ANC) won just 40% of the total votes. According to the Independent Electoral Commission, the main opposition Democratic Alliance party came second with 22%, followed by newly formed uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party with 15% and the Economic Freedom Fighters party with 10%. Now, the ANC, having lost its majority for the first time in 30 years, is searching for partners to form a coalition government. Reporter Darren Taylor in Cape Town tells VOA’s James Butty, the choices available to President Ramaphosa are all challenging
