AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoElection Count: With 99% of results captured, the ANC leads nationally on 30.89%, ahead of the DA on 24.58%, while MK has 9.63% and the EFF 6.25%. The IEC will announce final results on Sunday after receiving 197 objections; two were upheld, prompting recounts in five wards. Coalition Outlook: The ANC’s historic slump has left many councils hung and seven of the eight metros facing coalition negotiations. Cooperative Governance Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa will meet provincial counterparts to prepare councils for the transition, while new joint guidelines stress stable coalitions, financial accountability and uninterrupted services. Party Fallout: The ANC remains the largest party but has lost its majority in six metros, with voters punishing poor municipal services, unemployment and corruption. In KwaZulu-Natal, MK leads the provincial vote count, though the IFP is ahead in more councils. EFF leader Julius Malema, facing questions after his party’s decline, rejected calls to step down.
