Support in Soweto, Tshwane, Diepsloot, Alexandra and Langa drops from 2016 level
The 2016 election saw it governing the key metros of Tshwane, Johannesburg and, for a while, the Nelson Mandela Bay metro through coalitions with smaller opposition parties.
It only succeeded in retaining the Western Cape, albeit with a reduced majority. It also fell below the 2014 levels of support it received in Gauteng, and far below the support it received during the 2016 local government election. The ANC, in contrast, grew in Alexandra and Diepsloot from both 2014 and 2016 levels, while it also grew in Soweto to above the local government election levels.
