South Africa elections: ANC on course to lose majority, partial results suggest

ai generated text

The recent general elections in South Africa have resulted in a significant shift in the political landscape. The ruling African National Congress (ANC) is on track to lose its parliamentary majority for the first time since Nelson Mandela's leadership in 1994. With over two-thirds of votes counted, the ANC has secured around 42% of the vote, while the main opposition Democratic Alliance trails with 22%. The new MK Party, led by former President Jacob Zuma, appears to be gaining momentum and is on the cusp of grabbing power in KwaZulu Natal, a province where the ANC has never previously lost.

    1. We knew what we were doing on the ground. We were campaigning; we were telling people the truth about what MK is about, and we were telling them the truth about what the current government is about.

    African National Congress Party
    1. We are still hopeful that we can actually break the 50% mark.
    2. Coalitions are a consequence, you don't plan for consequences.

    1. Zuma has been able to profile himself as a victim who is persecuted by all.

    1. Voter turnout in the big metros is probably going to be the deciding factor in this election.
