Party sets sights on defeating the ANC
He said although the party previously stood as the opposition to the ANC, they were confident that in this year’s election they will defeat the party from power.

ANC in a terminal decline?
Steenhuisen said support for the ANC is set to crash well below 50%, saying the party was in a terminal decline.
“The ANC was already on its knees when Jacob Zuma’s MK Party entered the fray. As we speak, MK is devouring millions of ANC votes, and the ANC only has one man to blame for its demise; Cyril Ramaphosa, who, for decades, did everything in his power to enable and protect Zuma.
The demise of the ANC has opened the door for the DA to achieve what was once considered unthinkable; to enter national government,” he said.
Ramaphosa is expected to announce the 2024 election date this month.
