# The South African Communist Party has ruled out entering a coalition with the DA or the Freedom Front Plus following the local government elections. The SACP, which contested the local government elections independently of the tripartite alliance for the first time, won 2.38 percent of the national vote and 264 council seats. Yesterday marked the start of the 14-day window for municipal councils to be established. The SACP says it will not associate itself with right-wing, anti-Freedom Charter, neo-liberal parties, their coalition arrangements and their agendas.
