South Africa’s parliament will convene on Friday to elect a new president, despite no ruling coalition emerging from the hung mandate election. The ANC, which lost its parliamentary majority for the first time since the end of apartheid, is in talks with other parties to form a government, but negotiations have stalled. The EFF has rejected a unity government proposal, while the MK has challenged the election results. President Ramaphosa has urged parties to work together, but the MK has said it will not support the ANC if he remains in power.
