CONSERVATIVE PARTY DENIES ELECTION PACT WITH NP

PRETORIA Sept 26 Sapa

The Conservative Party on Tuesday denied having any
co-operation agreement or pact with the National Party and the
Freedom Front for November's local government elections.

CP deputy leader Dr Willie Snyman said in a statement that
media speculation in this regard was incorrect.

The party would be fielding candidates in all wards falling
within the statutory component of the Transitional Councils.

The only wards where this would not apply would be in cases
where candidates indicated it would not be in the best interests of
the Afrikaner to stand.

Because the NP and FF were participating in the Government of
National Unity, the CP had a fundamental difference in principle
with them which made any alliance impossible, Snyman said.

On Sunday the AWB suggested breaking off the organisation's
association with the CP on the basis of information it claimed to
have received about the CP making an election pact with the NP and
FF in parts of Northern Province.
