Election2019Results: NFP admits defeat, 'humbled' by continued support Elections2019 MzansiVotes
Pretoria - The embattled National Freedom Party said on Thursday that it was very humbled by the number of votes it was receiving despite dwindling support at the polls.
Mzwakhe Sibisi, acting secretary of NFP, said that they understand why their numbers are dwindling, but the party was working on a plan to revive its support. "Our president's illness has hit us badly, failing to participate in the 2016 local government elections also had a negative impact because we were dependent on the money received by our councillors. So immediately when there is no income, as political parties rely a lot on funding, we can't run a political party dependent on membership fees only."

Several trends are emerging: the DA appears to flat-line a couple of percentage points above its 2014 showing, the Freedom Front Plus is gaining votes, while the political fortunes of some parties like Cope and the National Freedom Party (NFP) are sharply on the wane.
