The Patriotic Alliance (PA) says it is open to coalition talks with all parties – especially those willing to give the PA a home affairs portfolio.
The PA has recorded 2% of the national vote in these elections with nearly 100% of results recorded. It also has achieved a presence in seven municipalities, with its best showing being the 8% recorded in the Western Cape province.
The party campaigned primarily on an anti-illegal foreigner ticket – with the by-line Abahambe, “They must go”. PA President Gayton McKenzie was speaking to the media at the Results Centre in Midrand.
“With us we don’t have a preference in parties. Everybody knows if they want to talk to the PA number one is Abahambe we don’t want finance, we want home affairs. So if you want to to us start with home affairs we must give EFF finance but with PA home affairs. And if you have another one extra, police. So once we have got them we take them out of the country. But home affairs for us is number one.”
