AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Election Results: With about 90% of results counted, the ANC is tracking just above 31% — its worst municipal showing — while the DA holds second place on roughly 24%. The DA is dominant in the Western Cape and leading in several metros, but nearly 100 councils may have no outright majority. Coalition Talks: Parties are preparing for negotiations, with Johannesburg a key battleground and deals needed before the November 22 deadline. The SACP says it will not back a party, instead seeking a common agenda with other left-wing groups. IEC and Misinformation: The IEC says 91% of results were complete by Friday evening and rejected viral claims that an official voted four times, calling them misleading. It urged voters to verify election claims as objections and recounts continue. Voter Priorities: An IEC-commissioned survey found 59% voted to make a difference, while reliable services, economic improvement and fighting corruption were also major motivations.
