2019 ELECTIONS: NEWSFLASH: ANC retains Gauteng majority, but only just, in nail-biting race By Greg Nicolson gregnicolson
The ANC has avoided entering into coalition discussions in Gauteng after winning 50.19% in the most contested province in the 2019 elections in a tense race that was difficult to call until the final voting districts were counted.
The DA will have 20 seats, the EFF 11, and Freedom Front Plus three. The IFP will keep its one seat and ACDP, which wasn’t elected to the legislature in 2014, will take one seat. The ANC’s share of the provincial vote dropped from 53.59% in 2014 and its results in Gauteng were its second-worst of any province except for Western Cape.
