Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) leader Mzwanele Nyhontso says his party is willing to negotiate for a coalition government in Eastern Cape municipalities.

There’s a strong likelihood of coalitions in many of the municipalities, including the two metros.

Briefing the media at the results centre in Kugompo City, Nyhontso says they will work with any party that focuses on service delivery.

“We are going to join. If we are invited to discuss coalitions, we are ready to join coalitions, which has nothing to do with principles; it is a strategy. If we are negotiating and agree on a minimum programme that we must work together and deliver services to our people, we are going to gladly agree.”
