ID makes floor crossing analysis public

The Independent Democratic General-Secretary Haniff Hoosen says the ID has come out from the recent floor crossing window period and is still the 4th biggest party in the country.

“Our analysis of the floor-crossing results from the IEC today shows that the UCDP lost 20% of its councillor caucus across the country, the PAC lost 41% the UIF 54% and Nadeco91%,” says Mr Hoosen.

The ID had a 17% reduction and leaves them with 130 councillors nationally.

They also feel that this decrease is not an indication of their support on the ground.

“The ID recognises that this has been the most fiercely contested floor-crossing window period with the positions of power and money being offered to our councillors,” says Hoosen
