Political party: news, leaders and election coverage

Looking for clear, fast updates on political parties across Africa? This tag gathers stories about party leadership, election campaigns, policy shifts, coalitions and the fights behind the headlines. You’ll find fact-based reports, quick rundowns of major moves, and context that explains why a party change matters for people on the ground.

What you'll find here

Short news pieces on party announcements and urgent events — resignations, leadership contests, party congresses and coalition deals. Quick election summaries that show who gained seats, where turnout changed, and which parties gained momentum. Profiles of party leaders and rising figures, written so you understand what they stand for and how they might change the balance of power. Analysis that breaks down policy shifts: tax plans, security proposals, or major law changes tied to party platforms.

We also flag stories about internal splits, defections and party discipline. Those moments often reshape local politics faster than big headline promises. When a well-known member jumps ship or a faction pushes a new agenda, we explain the likely ripple effects for voters and nearby countries.

Want concrete examples? Expect coverage of national election nights, party manifestos before votes, and follow-ups on how party promises become law — or fail. We link to original documents and speeches when useful, so you can see the source without hunting for it.
