'Too early': Dejected faces, body language from KZN politicians as Zuma's MK Party snowballs competition
Political parties in KwaZulu-Natal have expressed different views after election results started trickling in on Thursday.
As election results started trickling in on Thursday morning, it was apparent former president Jacob Zuma's party was the one to beat. The formation of the MK Party in December 2023 rocked the political landscape and threatened not only the ANC, but also the EFF, IFP and DA. "As the results come in, I think we'll get a better understanding. I don't think our polling has been totally inaccurate. We had predicted the DA, IFP, MK Party and the ANC, and that's clearly unfolding."
In a previous interview, Twala boldly told News24 the EFF had trained their sights on attaining one million votes in KwaZulu-Natal. But by 20:00 on Thursday, the party was sitting at just over 12 000 votes.He said:"So far, so good. We've just heard the news of wards in eThekwini, Newcastle and other areas that have performed really well. We are still hopeful. It's still early. We are still looking growing trajectory.
