Multi-Party Charter
Political alliance in South Africa / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Multi-Party Charter (MPC), officially the Multi-Party Charter For South Africa (MPCSA), formerly known as the Moonshot Pact, is a pre-election agreement in South Africa that presents a united front in the 2024 South African general election against the three-decade rule of the African National Congress (ANC) and the recent rise of the controversial Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF),[1] uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK Party)[2] and Patriotic Alliance (PA).[3] After the general election, the alliance joined the ANC-DA lead Grand national unity coalition government except African Christian Democratic Party.
