'Still early days' - ANC not shaken after dropping below 50% in Gauteng SAElections2019 | CannyMaphanga
The official opposition, the Democratic Alliance, is trailing behind the ANC with 684 260 votes , and the EFF remains in the third spot with 336 902 of the votes.
The ANC lost two metros - City of Tshwane and the City of Johannesburg - to the EFF and the DA in the 2016 municipal elections."No ways, the circumstances in 2016 versus now are actually quite different. I think, with the assimilation of new leadership headed by President Cyril Ramaphosa, you would have had a commitment that seeks to lead the ANC into a process of renewal, where various issues such as corruption have been tackled.
"I suppose the other thing that needs to be appreciated is that most of the results are coming from the suburbia, which are not particularly the strongholds of the ANC such as the townships. When these results come in, you are bound to see a significant incline, but we remain optimistic," Letsoalo concluded.
