# The IFP has resolved to move its national and provincial conferences to early next year, citing a need to ensure continuity and stability ahead of the local government elections. The current leadership’s term of office lapsed in August 2024, but the party opted not to elect new leaders as it had recently entered the government of national unity. The IFP says the elections present a critical opportunity to consolidate and expand the gains made in municipalities, and to strengthen its position as a credible alternative in local governance.
