The Democratic Alliance says it continues to show extensive growth in the Eastern Cape.
DA provincial spokesperson, Veliswa Mvenya says the party will be launching seven new branches in the areas of Mnqanduli, Mthatha and Mount Frere this weekend.
She says this is a clear indication of community support towards the DA.
Mvenya says communities in these areas are dissatisfied with the ANC's poor track record of service delivery and are turning to the DA.
She says the formation of the new branches is a continued step on the journey of the DA to replace the current government.
