AADP

About the party

The Action Alliance Development Party (AADP) was founded by Xitsonga musician Benny Mayengani on June 20, 2023. The AADP aspires to create a society where everyone enjoys equal worth and stands on an equal footing. The party says its vision is rooted in the principles of justice, fairness, and shared prosperity. The AADP contested the 2024 general election failed to secure any parliamentary representation. The party also contested the provincial legislative seats, such as in Gauteng, but it did not earn a single seat. Patrick Macece was elected president by the party’s National Executive Committee in June 2026. The November 4 poll will be AADP's debut municipal election,
