South Africa's ANC Loses Majority, Needs Allies

ai generated text

The African National Congress (ANC), which has been in power since 1994, has lost its parliamentary majority for the first time. With over 99% of votes counted, the party secured around 40% of the vote, a significant decline from its previous performance. This marks a historic turning point for South Africa as the ANC had enjoyed an absolute majority since 1994. The party's loss is attributed to widespread discontent among voters due to issues such as joblessness, inequality, and power shortages.
