The ANC failed to obtain 50% of the votes in JB Marks Municipality and Lekwa-Teemane Local Municipality
According to the Electoral Commission of SA election result dashboard, the ANC won the JB Marks Municipality with 48% of the votes, while in Lekwa-Teemane it retained the municipality with a reduced majority, obtaining 48.17% of the votes.
The ANC won 43 seats out of 89 council seats, and went into coalition with the Botho Community Movement, a community-based organisation from Boitekong which won one seat, and the African Independent Congress, which also won one seat. The ANC also reclaimed ward 28 in Rustenburg from the EFF. The ANC lost ward 28 in Lethabong 10 years ago after the community-preferred candidate Pako Molatlhegi was not included in the ANC candidates list.
