Ramaphosa rejects Mbalula’s call to review DA’s role in GNU

Cyril Ramaphosa rejected ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula’s call to review the Democratic Alliance’s role in the Government of National Unity. The DA opposed the ANC’s court challenge over the exclusion of 181 candidates from the November 4 municipal elections; the Constitutional Court ordered the electoral commission to take the necessary steps to include them on the ballot. Ramaphosa said disagreements over local elections did not undermine the national coalition and that the reasons for forming it still held.
