ElectionResults: Smaller parties weigh options as vote counting draws to a close
CAPE TOWN - As outstanding national results continue to trickle in, South Africans are getting a clearer picture of what the next five years will look like politically.National results for the 2019 general election recorded at 10am on Friday, 10 May 2019. Picture: IEC.
After two very long days and with the bulk of the votes counted, most party members opted to sleep in on Friday morning, leaving the centre eerily deserted, with just a few bleary-eyed journalists wandering around. However, more party members arrived by mid-morning. The Land Party has garnered just over 5,000 votes in the Western Cape. It's nowhere near enough for a seat in the legislature or National Assembly.
