As of now, 22.1% of the votes have been counted in the national elections. The African National Congress (ANC) is leading with 43.41% of the votes. The Democratic Alliance (DA) follows with 24.7%, while the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have 8.86%.
The newcomer, the MK Party, has secured 8.14% of the votes, showing a strong initial performance. Meanwhile, the Patriotic Alliance (PA) has gained 4.06%.
These early results indicate a competitive race as the vote counting continues. The ANC, though leading, faces significant challenges from the other parties, especially the DA and the MK.
The final outcome will depend on the remaining votes yet to be counted.
