New election poll data shows the EFF, IFP, and ANC losing support.
Support for South Africa’s ruling African National Congress has fallen below 40%, a new opinion poll shows.
The party’s failure to end a national electricity crisis, the collapse of state port and rail infrastructure, rampant crime and state corruption have left the party facing its toughest electoral test since it came to power three decades ago. The poll shows Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe Party now ranks as the third-most popular party, less than three months after it was founded, the Johannesburg-based foundation said.
Zuma ruled South Africa for almost nine years through a series of scandals before the ANC forced him to step down in 2018 to stem a loss of support. The only party to grow its share of the vote in the latest poll was the DA, the Brenthurst Foundation said.
