PA wins Prince Albert Municipality from DA
Beaufort West is the only municipality in the Central Karoo district that's outstanding.
The Patriotic Alliance (PA) has secured victory in the Prince Albert Municipality in the Western Cape, surpassing the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Central Karoo town. With all votes counted, the PA garnered nearly 49% of the vote, marking a significant increase from their 2021 performance where they held third place with only 14%.
The DA and the African National Congress (ANC) rounded out the top three positions. In Laingsburg, ActionSA made a notable debut as a political party, securing 26% of the vote, followed by the DA and the ANC. In Beaufort West, the DA is leading with the ANC and the PA trailing behind. The municipality is still outstanding, with only 33% of the votes counted thus far.
In the Little Karoo, ICOSA is currently the leading party in Kannaland with 27% of the vote, followed by the DA and the PA. However, ICOSA has experienced a notable decline in support compared to their 2021 victory. Oudtshoorn remains the only town in the Little Karoo where vote counting is ongoing, with the DA leading, followed by the ANC and the PA.
