The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has declared its readiness for the upcoming local government elections, citing recent by-election victories in KwaZulu-Natal as evidence of growing voter trust. IFP president Velenkosini Hlabisa announced the party’s election mode, saying the victories are a testament to the party’s commitment to serving the people of KwaZulu-Natal.
According to Hlabisa, the IFP’s victories in the recent by-elections are a significant boost to the party’s morale and a clear indication that voters are beginning to trust the party again. The IFP won several wards in the by-elections, with Hlabisa attributing the wins to the party’s grassroots campaign and its commitment to addressing the needs of local communities.
IFP’s Election Strategy
The IFP’s election strategy is focused on building on its recent successes and expanding its support base in KwaZulu-Natal. The party plans to campaign on a platform of delivering basic services, creating jobs, and promoting economic development. Hlabisa said the IFP will also focus on addressing the needs of rural communities, which have been neglected by the current government.

The IFP has identified several key priorities for the upcoming local government elections, including:
- Improving access to basic services such as water, sanitation, and electricity
- Creating jobs and promoting economic development through support for small businesses and entrepreneurs
- Addressing the needs of rural communities, including the provision of healthcare and education services
