DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis has asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to reshuffle the party’s ministers and deputies in the government of national unity.
DA leader John Steenhuisen is set to announce on 4 February 2026 that he will not seek a third term, amid internal party pressures and scandals. The decision, brokered in recent meetings, allows him to retain his position as Minister of Agriculture. This paves the way for Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis to potentially take over the leadership role.

In an interview, DA policy head Mat Cuthbert defended the party's new non-racial policies against criticisms of apartheid denialism. The proposals aim to address inequality through opportunity rather than race-based measures.
