The DA is elated with the victory at the Ward 4 by-election in Prince Albert. This municipality becomes the first municipality in the Central Karoo that the Democratic Alliance governs outright.
This victory is a clear indication of the trust rural voters have in the DA.
It marks a turning point, not only for the Prince Albert Municipality, but also for the rest of the Central Karoo.
The DA has a proven track record of clean governance and excellent service delivery where we govern, and Prince Albert will be a shining example of what the DA can bring to the rest of the Central Karoo.
