South Africa’s ANC Faces Coalition After Worst Election Result in 30 Years
South Africa’s ruling party, the ANC, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, got just 40% of the vote in the latest election, its worst result in 30 years.
This means the ANC will need to form a coalition government. The final results are expected on Sunday at 18:00 local time (16:00 GMT).
The ANC’s support has dropped due to issues like corruption, unemployment, and crime. President Ramaphosa is under pressure as the party now faces coalition talks.
Potential partners include the DA, which is in second place with 22%, and the MK party, led by former President Jacob Zuma, which got 15%.
The ANC’s decline is a result of public frustration over economic challenges and governance issues. As the parties negotiate alliances, the outcome will shape South Africa’s political landscape.
