The 2024 national and provincial election results, as they stand with 60% of votes counted, depict a significant decline in support for the African National Congress (ANC), potentially signaling a historic shift as the party drops below 50% for the first time since 1994, News24 reports. With projections aligning closely with the official results, the ANC is forecasted to secure just 40% of the vote, while the Democratic Alliance (DA) and former president Jacob Zuma’s Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party are positioned at 23.3% and 11.3%, respectively. The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) leaderboard highlights the ANC’s struggle to maintain dominance, with other parties like the MK making notable showings.
