South African MPs due to elect president but no deal in place | BBC News
Negotiations are still ongoing over the formation of a new government in South Africa.
The country’s parliament is meeting for the first time since the governing African National Congress (ANC) lost its majority in last month’s elections.
The ANC says it has made a “breakthrough” on forming a government of national unity but it was too early to give details.
One of parliament’s first duties on Friday is expected to be a secret vote on whether Cyril Ramaphosa remains president.
The ANC lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in 30 years in the 29 May election, getting 40% of the vote.

Today, Andy Burnham is the front-runner to be the next prime minister – so what happens now?
New MP for Makerfield Andy Burnham is currently expected to be the only candidate in the race to replace outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Will he run unopposed?
Former Defence Minister Al Carns and Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones are both considering leadership bids, but it is unclear if they have enough backers in parliament to make it into the contest.
Meanwhile, Westminster is now rife with speculation about who would get the number two job, Chancellor, in a potential Burnham cabinet. Joe Pike, Henry Zeffman and Dharshini David discuss.

Donald Trump says a deal to end the war with Iran has already been signed and details will be released “pretty soon”.
This comes ahead of a formal signing ceremony in Switzerland on Friday.
Speaking during a G7 meeting in France, the US President said as part of the US’s deal to end the war, Iran will “never have a nuclear weapon”.
But the agreement remains shrouded in mystery, and major questions remain about whether both sides can reach a long-term peace deal.
Asma Khalid and Tristan Redman from The Global Story podcast speak to the BBC’s chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet.
They ask: how has the war affected the global economy, how people in Iran have been affected, what Iran’s nuclear capabilities are and what has happened to the Iranian regime.

This is inside the Enhanced Games – the competition some have dubbed the “Steroid Olympics”.
The inaugural games featured dozens of elite athletes using performance-enhancing drugs to try and break world records in track, weightlifting and swimming.
The drugs they use must be legal, and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
But substances like testosterone and human growth hormone – banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency – are not only celebrated, they’re encouraged and for sale.

Heat warnings are in place across Europe, as the continent faces record temperatures.
Half of France is under a red alert and recorded its hottest night since records began on Tuesday.
The Eiffel Tower said it was closing early on Tuesday because of the high temperatures forecast in the capital.
The UK’s infrastructure has also felt the strain from the heat, with more than 300 schools being partially closed this week, and Britain’s biggest train company, Govia Thameslink, warned passengers not to travel on Wednesday unless it’s absolutely necessary, because of speed restrictions for safety.

On Monday morning, Keir Starmer announced he is stepping down as prime minister and leader of the Labour Party.
In his resignation speech outside 10 Downing Street, he said: “The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election.
“I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question. And I accept that answer with good grace.”
BBC Politics Correspondent Henry Zeffman has been following the story, and was outside No 10 as the historic moment unfolded.
