DA Retains Ward 56

Dear Editor

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has retained Ward 56 in Tshwane in today’s by-election.

We are grateful to the voters of Ward 56 Tshwane who have given the DA a resounding mandate.

The DA’s hand in Tshwane is strengthening with every by-election held.

This victory comes on a day that we have seen duplicity and political power plays, in Johannesburg, which reveal the true colors of parties in Tshwane too.

It is clear that the current ANC-EFF-ActionSA coalition leaves little hope for the people of Tshwane. This by-election result is an affirmation of the City’s belief in the DA.

The results show extraordinary momentum toward the upcoming Local Government Election –

The DA’s vote share grew from 50.05% in the 2024 Election in this Ward to a resounding 80% in this 2025 by-election.

The 2026 Elections are around the corner, and the DA is committed to ensuring that stability and effective leadership returns to the City of Tshwane, but that can only happen with a strong DA.

The outcome of today’s by-election is a step in that direction. Tshwane is ready for change.

We welcome newly elected Councillor Tiaan Dippenaar to the DA Tshwane caucus, where he will assist us in holding a failing executive to account.

Regards

Ald Cilliers Brink
DA Tshwane Caucus Leader
