“We're confident and excited about our list of candidates who are ready to step forward and serve the people of South Africa,” Herron said.
GOOD contested the previous general elections three months after it was established in February 2019.
Herron said despite a late start then, GOOD was one of two new parties to get enough support to win two seats in the National Assembly and enter the Western Cape Legislature.
“In the 2021 local government elections, we contested only 40 municipalities, which saw 51 GOOD councillors elected in four provinces. We've continued to show significant growth in members and supporters as is evident in the various by-election outcomes,” he said.
GOOD Leader, Patricia De Lille is expected to launch the party's election manifesto on Saturday, 16 March.
