Analysts predicted the ruling ANC party’s final result at 42%, up from 57% of the vote in the 2019 election.
In South Africa, the preliminary results of the parliamentary elections are known: Mandela’s party lost its majority in parliament for the first time. The BBC reported it.
It is noted that after receiving the first data from the polling stations, it is clear that the leading party, the African National Congress (ANC), has won, but for the first time in 30 years it is losing its mono-majority in parliament. .
“South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), is close to losing its parliamentary majority for the first time since it came to power 30 years ago,” preliminary parliamentary election results show.
The ANC, the party that ended apartheid under Nelson Mandela in 1994, received 42% of the vote, followed by the Democratic Alliance Party with 25%.
Many voters reportedly blame the ANC for high levels of corruption, crime and unemployment.
Analysts expect the ANC party’s final result to stand at 42%, up from 57% of the vote in the 2019 election.
It is noted that the loss of positions will force the leaders of the ANC to create a coalition with one or several other parties to form a majority in parliament, and this may threaten South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with resignation.
It was previously reported that the far right could not win local elections in eastern Germany.
