# Calls are mounting for the proposed Coalition Bill to be finalised before the 2029 national and provincial elections, when further coalition governments are expected. This comes as political parties begin 14 days of negotiations following the local government elections. The bill, which seeks to extend coalition negotiation periods to 30-days and promote political stability, was expected to be adopted before last week’s municipal elections. However, disagreements between parties and inadequate public participation delayed its finalisation. Government confirmed a framework to give guidance on how to run municipalities.
