National Congress of the People (South Africa)

The National Congress of the People (COPE) is a political party in South Africa founded in 2008 by former members of the African National Congress (ANC). It was created to offer an alternative political platform, emphasizing unity, accountability, and good governance. COPE advocates for policies that address economic inequality, social justice, and effective service delivery. While it gained initial support, it has faced challenges with internal divisions and fluctuating electoral success. Overall, COPE seeks to represent citizens seeking a different approach to addressing South Africa’s social and economic issues.
