ANC support dwindles in Mpumalanga, Eff the new opposition
#Imademymark The IEC’s counting boards were updated with the Mpumalanga results on Friday afternoon.
MBOMBELA- The election results have come in for this year’s election and, on the surface it appears as though the ANC still enjoys the support of the masses, judging by their 70.55 per cent win.
At provincial level, the Eff have scuppered the DA as the official opposition in Mpumalanga, by securing 12.78 per cent of the vote.
They are followed closely by the DA which scored 9.77 per cent of the vote.
