Party leaders noted that the union would bring unity and purpose to the ruling coalition, with ANC party leader Governor Issa Timamy underscoring the critical nature of the political moment.
"Politically, we are at the deep end and we need to hold on to each other so that we get to the shore," Timamy said.

"We’ve met here with virtually all the organs of the party, including Amani Congress and other leadership within our party. We’ve also engaged with all the elected ANC officials, including MCAs and MPs," he said.
Mudavadi commended ANC leaders for their steadfastness, and emphasised the importance of strategic positioning.
"In Africa, it is not easy to defeat an incumbent president seeking a second term. Stay vigilant and never underestimate even the weakest government," said Mudavadi.
