DA leader and Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has declared the party the winner in the Mother City
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has declared victory in the City of Cape Town, securing a significant majority with just a quarter of the votes counted. Party leader Geordin Hill-Lewis projected that the DA would receive around 58% of the vote, based on the data collected from voting stations. As of 12pm, the ANC led with 32% of the vote compared to the DA's 27%.
Hill-Lewis expressed gratitude to the residents for their support and emphasized the DA's growth in areas previously considered less favorable. He forecasted that the party could lead other cities as well, potentially forming a coalition government if the current trends persist.
