By 8.15am, the ANC had about 1.5 million votes, followed by the Democratic Alliance with around 750,000 and the Economic Freedom Fighters at 230,000. New Kid on the block GOOD, formed by former DA mayor Patrica De Lille, was seventh on the board with 22,000 votes. Gauteng is SA’s richest province, contributing over a third of the national gross domestic product while it is also the most populous, home to a staggering 14 million people.
The Inkatha Freedom Party looks to be regaining lost ground in its stronghold province of KwaZulu-Natal where early election results show it putting in a strong showing behind the ANC. The ANC is the governing party in the province but in the 2016 local government elections saw a coalition of the DA and EFF take control of Nelson Mandela Bay, which includes Port Elizabeth, before that coalition collapsed amid acrimony.
