# The National Assembly elects Ramaphosa to a second term and a GNU is formed

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 14 June 2024 the [National Assembly](/organizations/national-assembly) elected [Ramaphosa](/people/cyril-ramaphosa) to a second presidential term. He then formed a Government of National Unity with the Democratic Alliance and other parties after the ANC lost its majority. Partner policy is shared.

## Context

29 May election sat as parent. Neighbouring Expropriation Act 2025 later strained the DA. He did not sit as every GNU minister.

29 May 2024 election is the parent. Expropriation 2025 is a child strain.

The President of South Africa heads the national executive, appoints Cabinet, and assents to bills. He does not write an Eskom generation print, an NPA charging decision, a DA court challenge, or a US executive order by himself. Phala Phala cash in a sofa is not a completed criminal verdict unless a court so holds.

## Evidence and sources

The Presidency of South Africa carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed coalition rotation after a lost majority.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 14 June 2024 Assembly election and GNU, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later growth coefficient from that Friday, or that every GNU partner uniquely authored later bills.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He negotiated the GNU. DA and other parties share the cabinet file.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The National Assembly elects Ramaphosa to a second term and a GNU is formed, not a later speech about The National Assembly elects Ramaphosa to a second term and a GNU is formed.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. The National Assembly elects Ramaphosa to a second term and a GNU is formed on 2024-06-14 is not a licence to treat every later The Presidency of South Africa communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average The National Assembly elects Ramaphosa to a second term and a GNU is formed into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The Assembly voted. He negotiated the GNU. DA and other parties share the cabinet file. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
