LOCAL ELECTIONS 2026: Malema blames GNU cooperation for EFF losing support to the DA

EFF leader Julius Malema says voters questioned why they should not support the DA at the ballot box when the ANC itself was willing to work with the party and give it positions in government. EFF leader Julius Malema has rejected suggestions that the Democratic Alliance (DA) took votes from his party, arguing that voters who shifted their support to the DA did so because of the ANC’s decision to work with its former political opponents in the national government. “There is no DA that stole votes. Our people voted for DA. DA did not steal any votes from the EFF,” Malema said.
