The province has 30 municipalities, of which five are district councils. Only eight of its municipalities were hung in 2016.
The provincial IEC is planning to announce final results at 11am on Wednesday.
“We are well on our way in terms of getting all the results in and captured, verified and then confirmed,” said Hendrickse. The much-awaited city of Cape Town's results were still outstanding. Though the DA is expected to retain the city, there has been a lot of speculation about whether it would retain the two-thirds majority it received in 2016.
The effect of parties like GOOD which was formed by former DA councillors, including former Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille, also makes for an interesting result. Hendrickse confirmed that the metro's results were taking longer to conclude but there was no specific reason for the delay except that Cape Town had 801 voting districts and two ballots per voter.
