The Ngqura constituency in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro comprises Zwide, New Brighton, KwaZakhele, Motherwell, KwaDwesi, KwaMagxaki and Blue Water Bay.
Trollip said it was an open secret that the DA had set its electoral sights on the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro.
He said the opening of these new constituency offices marked the beginning of the DA's campaign to win PE in the 2016 municipal elections.
Meanwhile, Cape Town mayor Patricia De Lille has announced that she'll be standing for the position of Democratic Alliance leader in the Western Cape.
She says she'll be standing with Anton Bredell as the nominee for chairperson, and Bonginkosi Madikizela as nominee for deputy leader.
