Northern Cape: ANC in firm lead but DA, EFF, FF+ eat into support SAElections2019 ElectionResults | Ethan_VD
Getting 219 372 votes in the Northern Cape, the ANC is well ahead in the polls, with nearly 32% more votes than the DA, according to the latest figures as at 16:30.If the percentage of votes stays below 60%, this will be the worst electoral performance in the province for the governing party since 1994, when it received 49.81% .This would suggest an improvement by more than 2% from 2014.
The DA has shown steady growth in the Northern Cape, having received 11.61% and 13.08% in 2004 and 2009 respectively. Mirroring the trend seen nationally and in a number of other provinces, the EFF is in third place in the province, with 8.76%, up from 5.06%.Cope, meanwhile, has lost significant ground. With a strong showing in 2009, with 15.94% of the votes, the party only managed 3.31% in 2014.
Currently, it sits at 0.87% or 3 331 votes - almost twenty times fewer votes than a decade ago, and is at risk of not retaining any seats in the provincial legislature.
