Ramaphosa set for re-election in South Africa after coalition agreement

The deal will bring the ANC together in government with the Democratic Alliance, a white-led party that had for years been the main opposition.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was expected to be re-elected for a second term on Friday after his African National Congress (ANC) party signed a last-minute coalition agreement with its long-time political rival as the new Parliament convened to choose the country’s leader.
