These are the final results for the 2024 National and Provincial elections, with the allocated seats.
The announcement of South Africa’s 2024 National and Provincial election results signals a monumental shift in the country’s political landscape.
On 2 June 2024, the Electoral Commission officially announced the results of the country’s seventh democratic general elections, which had taken place on May 29th. Moepya slammed the attacks and intimidation of the IEC and its officials by some political figures and their supporters during the elections, which he said were meant to taint the integrity of the institutions. He said that these attempts failed.The National Assembly seat allocation out of 400 is made up of 200 compensatory seats and 200 regional seats.
The ANC saw its biggest drop in support in KwaZulu-Natal, going from ruling the province with 54.22% , to third with 16.99%, representing a 37.23% drop in support.The DA held onto the Western Cape, with a slight decrease in support to 55.29% of the vote. This was contrary to some predictions that the party would lose its outright majority.
Although maintaining its status as largest party in the province, the ANC lost its outright majority to form a government on its own in the Northern Cape, falling just short of the 50% +1 mark at 49.34%.
