Over the years, the Democratic Alliance (DA) has projected itself as a disciplined political party that does not air its dirty linen in public. It insisted that any internal squabbles are handled or resolved amicably through internal structures, thereby maintaining the integrity of the party.
Moreover, the DA has consistently boasted that, unlike other political parties such as its main competitor, the African National Congress (ANC), which has been leading the country since 1994, the DA has been leading when it comes to service delivery and good governance.
Citing audit outcomes and the reduced number of public protests in DA-controlled areas as proof of good governance, the DA maintained that it governs better where it has the mandate from the electorate.
