The first partial results of South Africa’s legislative elections have been announced, with approximately 20 per cent of votes counted. The current figures indicate the following for the main parties:
African National Congress (ANC): 42.48 per cent
Democratic Alliance (DA): 25.76%
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF): 8.5%
Umkhonto Wesizi (MK): 8.01%
This election is crucial for the country’s political future. The African National Congress (ANC), which has led South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994, is facing growing popular discontent. The country of 62 million people is going through deep socio-economic challenges, including a high unemployment rate of 32 per cent and widespread poverty affecting about half the population.
The Democratic Alliance (DA), which represents the main opposition, has made pacts with several smaller parties in an attempt to oust the ANC from power. Although analysts consider this scenario unlikely, these alliances reflect the growing discontent with the ANC. Former President Jacob Zuma, who was barred from running in the elections, continues to play a political role through his MK party, adding to the uncertainty.
International observers from the African Union (AU) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) are in place to monitor the elections and ensure their transparency. Final results are expected on Sunday, which will determine South Africa’s immediate political future.
