Counting of votes for local government elections in South Africa is still going on intensively. According to the real-time vote count results released by the Independent Election Commission on the 6th, the ruling African National Congress led the main rival Democratic League by 6 to 7 percentage points in more than 70% of the votes that have been counted. The latter performed well in the eight major metropolitan areas that are regarded as the “top priority” of this election. The real-time vote count results released by the Independent Election Commission at 10:00 on the 6th showed that out of nearly three-quarters of the valid votes that have already been counted, the African National Congress led by President Cyril Ramaphosa won about 32% of the votes, and the Democratic League won slightly more than 24% of the votes. The African National Congress continues to lead the way in the six provinces of North-West, Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, and Free State. The Democratic League is leading the way in the two major economic provinces of Houten and the Western Cape, and the National Spear Party led by former President Jacob Zuma is leading in KwaZulu-Natal.
