For the first time, SA will be represented by 14 parties in Parliament ElectionResults
CAPE TOWN - Parliament will see a record number of 14 parties represented when the National Assembly convenes next week for the first time after the election.
These include the African People’s Convention, whose president, Themba Godi, has for the past 10 years been the chairperson of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts . A record number of parties contested the elections, and this will be reflected on the National Assembly’s benches, as well as the loss of support for the two biggest parties, the African National Congress and the Democratic Alliance, and the increased share of the vote that went to the Economic Freedom Fighters and the Freedom Front Plus.
