South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) party is experiencing a significant shift in power following the recent national elections. For the first time in 30 years, the ANC is projected to fall short of a majority, signaling a pivotal moment in the country's political landscape since the end of apartheid.
With 90% of voting districts reporting, the ANC garnered 41.04% of the vote, while the centrist Democratic Alliance (DA) secured 21.72%. Notably, two ANC splinter parties, the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), captured 13.69% and 9.46% of the votes, respectively.
