South Africa's ANC Considers Unity Government Amid Coalition Talks
After losing its parliamentary majority for the first time since 1994, South Africa's African National Congress (ANC) is considering forming a government of national unity. The ANC, which received about 40% of the vote, is in talks with various parties, including the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), to form a coalition. The ANC aims to resolve the coalition talks quickly as parliament convenes in less than two weeks to elect a new president.
