The counting of ballots has been proceeding at a brisk pace on Thursday in the province, and the governing party appears set to avoid needing a coalition partner.
With 80% of the vote in the Western Cape counted by 7.25pm on Thursday, the DA was hanging on to its majority to allow it to keep governing the province without the need for a coalition.
The Freedom Front Plus, EFF and African Christian Democratic Party were in fourth and fifth, respectively, with FF+ continuing to show signs of the overall growth they have demonstrated in this year’s elections. Speaking at the IEC results centre in Cape Town on Thursday, a day after national elections, Winde said it was “so far, so good” for the DA despite the polls predicting the opposite at the end of last year.
