The biggest beneficiary of the elections were the FF+ which had trippled its percentage thereby breaking its own record in the election.
ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte walked from left to right and right across the floor of the election results centre in Pretoria to go and greet and to congratulate the Freedom Front Plus for their good performance at election outcomes.
The party was buoyed despite the electoral drop from 62,15 percent in the 2014 election to about 57 percent support However, Kekana seemed to miss the point as the ANC performance dropped every election since 2009 when Zuma came to power. It dropped from 69.6 percent under Mbeki to 65 in 2009 and 62.1 percent in 2014 and now it’s at about 57 percent under Ramaphosa an indication that instead of moving up, the party’s support was plummeting drastically.
Groenewald attributed the performance to the party’s positive campaign. Instead of criticising other parties they explained their policies to the people and urged them to vote for the party.
