AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Leadership: Cyril Ramaphosa dismissed claims he would resign after the ANC’s election defeat, calling the rumours “preposterous” and saying the party accepts voters’ verdict. Election Results: The ANC finished with 30.76%—its worst result since 1994—while the DA won 24.64%, MK 9.76% and the EFF 6.22%. The ANC remains the largest party, but lost its lead in several metros and its majority in Buffalo City. Coalition Talks: With 138 hung councils and only Cape Town won outright, parties face negotiations to form local governments. The ANC says it will urgently rebuild trust after voters punished service delivery failures. IEC: The commission says it dismissed 25 temporary KwaZulu-Natal election staff over alleged partisan conduct and other breaches.
