Coalition talks could be on cards for key Eastern Cape municipalities
Cape Town - THE race for control of most municipalities may be a done deal for the ANC, but the ruling party in the Eastern Cape may be forced to get into coalitions in some municipalities where it failed to get an outright majority.
Other than Nelson Mandela Bay where the ANC was still leading with 40.81%, the party may be forced to get into bed with other parties in Kou-Kamma municipality and Dr Beyers Naudé municipality where its support has dropped to below 50%. In Dr Beyers Naudé municipality the ANC was sitting at 46.82% followed by the DA at 39.55% and the EFF at 4.18%.
In Kou-Komma municipality the ANC was sitting at 46.39% and the DA was at 27.47% and the Patriotic Alliance emerged in third place with 10.89% of the vote in the council.
