South Africa's ANC gets 30.76% of vote in municipal elections, official results show

​South Africa's ​African National Congress ‌won 30.76% ​of the vote in municipal ‌elections, while its nearest rival the Democratic Alliance got 24.64% of the ‌vote, official results showed ‌on Sunday. At the last municipal elections in 2021 the ANC got ⁠45.59% of ​the ⁠vote.

The outcome of this year's elections ⁠is a further painful setback for ​the ANC, which has seen ⁠its vote share fall steadily in ⁠local ​elections over the last 15 years due largely ⁠to failures in basic services such ⁠as ⁠water and electricity.
