After a historic coalition deal between the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and opposition parties, Cyril Ramaphosa has been re-elected as the President of South Africa for a second term. The unexpected agreement marks a significant shift in the political landscape of the country, with Ramaphosa emerging victorious after intense negotiations and discussions.

Chinese President Xi Jinping extended his congratulations to Ramaphosa on his re-election, emphasizing the importance of the new era that the coalition agreement represents. The re-election of Ramaphosa, a key figure in the ANC and a prominent leader in the legacy of Nelson Mandela, signals a fresh start for the nation, heralding a 'new birth, a new era' according to Ramaphosa himself.

In a dramatic turn of events, Ramaphosa secured 283 votes out of 400 in the National Assembly, a decisive victory that solidified his second term as president. The ANC, facing challenges after losing its parliamentary majority for the first time since apartheid ended in 1994, managed to negotiate and secure the necessary support for Ramaphosa's re-election.

The process leading to Ramaphosa's re-election was marked by intense negotiations, with the African National Congress navigating through uncertain waters to form the crucial coalition. Despite the challenges faced, the successful outcome reinforces Ramaphosa's position as a resilient and strategic leader, guiding South Africa through a pivotal moment in its political history.
