Elections latest: Spoilt votes might have meant 3 seats in Parliament. Elections2019results SADecides
But the 167 000 spoilt votes could potentially have cost a party three seats in the National Assembly.
This means that these spoilt votes could potentially have meant three seats - nearly four seats – in the National Assembly. “The ANC will be elected with a record low of 27% of the eligible population backing them, compared with 47% in 1999. This kind of dynamic is not a mandate nor an impetus to change,” said Peter Attard Montalto, head of capital markets research at Intellidex.
“People have shown they are willing to forgive the ANC,” said Ronald Lamola, a member of the ANC’s top governing body.With promises to fight graft, improve public services and put people into jobs, Ramaphosa won an internal party leadership election in December 2017, narrowly defeating a faction allied with former head of state Jacob Zuma. Ramaphosa replaced the scandal-plagued Zuma as president of Africa's most advanced economy three months later.
