ALL four opposition parties in Mpumalanga’s legislature appear set to form a coalition against the ruling African National Congress. The Democratic Party, which won 4,5% of the provincial vote, met with New National Party representatives in Witbank on Tuesday to discuss the proposed alliance. Further meetings between the NNP, United Democratic Party and Freedom Front are also scheduled. The proposed alliance could see all four opposition parties in the province pooling resources to caucus and strategise together in the legislature.
