Electoral results from Gauteng metros put the African National Congress (ANC) and Democratic Alliance (DA) continued to put the parties on equal footing. Overnight counting on Thursday night and Friday morning saw the DA slightly extend its lead over the ANC in Tshwane‚ which continued to hold the slimmest of margins over SA’s largest opposition party in Johannesburg.By 7am in Tshwane‚ with the verification process 68% complete‚ the DA held 43.9% of the vote and the ANC 41.91%. Key areas in the western half of the metro‚ including Atteridgeville‚ where the ANC traditionally outperforms the DA‚ were still outstanding.In Johannesburg‚ the ANC led with 41.84% of the vote‚ the DA 41.72% and the EFF 10.81%. The verification process in the metro is 70% complete‚ with key areas outstanding including parts of Soweto.In the province‚ the ANC has received 44.87%‚ the DA 38.77% and the EFF 10.95%‚ in what is shaping up to be a major upset for the ruling party. It is increasingly likely that neither party will be able to govern without the EFF – which has said it won’t co-govern with either party.How did your ward/city vote?
