ANC says Ipsos poll shows Joburg residents still have confidence in the party
The Social Research Foundation (SRF) poll shows the DA leading Johannesburg with 42% support, while the ANC dropped to 18%.
The African National Congress (ANC) in Johannesburg has welcomed a recent Ipsos survey that places the party at 31% support, ahead of the Democratic Alliance (DA). The Ipsos poll, released on September 4th, was presented by the party's regional secretary, Sasa Manganye, who said the findings "reaffirm that the ANC is arresting the decline and beginning to rebuild its support."
Manganye urged the party not to become complacent, stressing the need to consolidate this momentum and improve electoral performance. He added that the ANC's loss of supporters is being regained, and the party is preparing to win back the confidence of the people. The Social Research Foundation (SRF) conducted a poll recently, which showed the DA leading with 42% support and the ANC at 18%.
Manganye criticized the SRF poll for its methodology and political motivation, noting the significant difference between the two polls. He emphasized the ANC's caution against using polling results as a political propaganda tool.
