South Africa's President Seeks National Unity Government
ai generated text
South Africa's ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), is seeking a broad alliance after failing to win enough seats in the recent general election. The ANC won just over 40% of the vote and 158 seats in the National Assembly, falling short of an outright majority for the first time. President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced that his party will seek a government of national unity, citing the need to reflect the will of voters and move the country forward.
We therefore agreed to invite political parties to form a Government of National Unity as the best option to move our country forward.
Such a national dialogue will enhance the pressing task of rebuilding social cohesion in a fractured society, following a particularly toxic and divisive election campaign.
This moment also calls for multiparty cooperation and multi-stakeholder collaboration if we are to overcome the severe challenges that confront our country.
This moment calls for the broadest unity of the people of South Africa.
In establishing a GNU, we are building on a very rich history of cooperation across divides and ideologies.
We don't want a government of national unity, we will end up with the wrong people.
So I think a government of national unity is a way to appease all political players.
