Dear MyPE
The DA can win Nelson Mandela Bay at this year’s election, confirmed by last night’s IPSOS survey results which have the DA four points ahead of the ANC.
We are encouraged by this clear prediction of voting intention in NMB.
According to this poll the people of Nelson Mandela Bay believe that only the DA can bring real change that will make a difference in their lives.
The people of the Bay understand that where the DA governs the DA governs well and delivers better services to all.
The IPSOS results show that for the DA to win the Bay, will require every DA voter to come out and vote on 3 August.
Today, Former DA Leader Helen Zille and I will campaign in NMB, sharing the DA’s plans to stop corruption, create jobs and deliver better services in the Bay, as we have already done where we govern.
The latest IPSOS poll, which shows the DA can WIN the Bay, indicates how the people of NMB are seeing through the ANC and Danny Jordaan’s broken promises: 21 000 more unemployed people since December 2015, Over R320 million lost to leaks and electricity theft in the last 9 months, delivery of a fake metro police service, a criminal appointed to the Head of Safety and Security, no eradication of bucket toilets, no weekly refuse collection in all wards, and frequent no-shows at important meetings.
Now that a DA victory in NMB is so close, we call on all people who recognise the need for change, to stand behind the DA because we are ready to govern for all people.
This year, the DA’s commitment to good governance, job creation and corruption-fighting will be the driver of change in our municipality.
The DA is ready to govern, and the DA can win NMB.
