The latest results from the 2024 national elections in South Africa show significant changes in the political landscape. With over 97% of votes counted, the African National Congress (ANC) leads with 40.11% of the vote, followed by the Democratic Alliance (DA) with 21.72%. The uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party, led by former president Jacob Zuma, has garnered 14.83% of the vote, placing third.
Other notable results include the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) with 9.37%, the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) with 3.96%, and the Patriotic Alliance (PA) with 2.04%.
These results mark a historic moment as the ANC has lost its parliamentary majority for the first time since the end of apartheid, reflecting a significant shift in voter sentiment.
