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 presents 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] uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK Party)[2] and Patriotic Alliance (PA).[3] After the general election, the alliance joined the ANC-DA lead Grand national unity coalition government except African Christian Democratic Party.
As of 2024, the parties in the charter collectively hold 113 of the 400 seats in the National Assembly.

Forces of destruction in the ANC, EFF and their proxies in small parties like the Patriotic Alliance, were converging towards forming a Doomsday Coalition after the 2024 general election. A year down the line, and this initiative – now known as the Multi-Party Charter (MPC) – has made tremendous progress in forging a common vision and strong bonds.
