ANC holds the lead in NC after 54% of districts declared
With 54% of voting districts being declared in the Northern Cape, the ANC remains the leading party
In the Northern Cape, the African National Congress (ANC) is currently leading the municipal vote count, holding 42% of the votes as of 54% of districts being declared. This leads the Democratic Alliance (DA) in second place with 25% of the votes. The Patriotic Alliance (PA) is making significant gains, securing nearly 10% of the votes.
Nationally, only 18% of voting districts have been declared so far. The PA is gaining noticeable traction in the Northern Cape, emerging as a formidable competitor in the region. They have secured support in municipalities such as Khâi-Ma, Richtersveld, Nama Khoi, and Ubuntu. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) are trailing with 6.4% of the votes.
In the 2021 Local Government Elections, the PA obtained 2.7% of voter support in the province, winning 13 seats. The PA has already secured two wards in the Northern Cape, according to a representative from FF Plus. ActionSA expressed encouragement based on the results emerging from Tshwane.
