In the aftermath of a significant election setback, South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) has made it clear that it will not entertain any demands for President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down as party leader in the ongoing coalition negotiations.
The ANC, which has been the dominant political force in South Africa since the end of apartheid, faced a challenging election that saw its share of the vote drop to just over 40%, signaling a shift in the country's political landscape.
