The Multi-Party Charter (MPC), officially the Multi-Party Charter For South Africa (MPCSA), formerly known as the Moonshot Pact, is a pre-election agreement in South Africa that aims to present a united front in the 2024 South African general election against the three-decade rule of the African National Congress (ANC) and the recent rise of the controversial Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF)[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK Party).[9]
The parties in the charter collectively hold 112 of the 400 seats in the National Assembly.
