President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) has reportedly suggested resigning as party president following the ANC's poor performance in the recent local government elections. At least five senior ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) members revealed that Ramaphosa proposed stepping down, arguing that two consecutive electoral defeats under his leadership demanded accountability. His possible departure could trigger a major political shake-up, potentially spelling the end of South Africa's Government of National Unity (GNU). However, ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has denied these reports, stating that Ramaphosa is not considering resignation.
