JOHANNESBURG - The Freedom Front Plus (FF PLUS), which more than doubled its electoral support in the 2019 elections, and the United Democratic Movement (UDM) and Pan Africanist Congress (PAC), who are both holding onto meagre seats in Parliament, will all launch their manifestos in Gauteng today.
The FF PLUS will be in Pretoria, while Bantu Holomisa’s UDM will gather at Gallagher Estate in Midrand. The PAC will launch its 2024 elections manifesto at the Orlando Communal Hall in Soweto.
Different political parties are pitching their vision for the South Africa over the next five years, should they be voted to power by citizens when they take to the polls on the 29 May.
With the bigger political parties out of the way, attention will now turn to their smaller counterparts, who will also attempt to woo voters ahead of the elections.
Saturday will see the PAC launch its policy offering, now a one percentile party, which is seemingly seeking refuge and friendship everywhere including with former African National Congress president Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe Party.
Meanwhile, the PAC and Azapo have committed to working together for these elections.
The UDM, which made an impressive debut in the 1999 elections and garnered 3.2% of the votes, now only holds two seats in Parliament, with a strong chance of this being adversely impacted by the upcoming polls.
