Understanding Democratic Principles and Government of National Unity

Community Workshops

South Africa’s general election on 29 May 2024, in which the African National Congress (ANC) dropped from 57.5% of the vote in 2019 to a historic low of 40.2% resulted in the formation of a Government of National Unity (GNU). It is the second time that South Africa has a Government of National Unity. The first time was in 1994 with the first democratically elected government when the ANC won 62.6% of the vote.
