The ANC on Monday said it welcomed the outcomes of the elections, which “positioned the ANC as the official opposition in the City of Johannesburg council”.

ANC’s mayoral candidates

The ruling party contested the positions of the speaker of council, the executive mayor and chief whip against the Democratic Alliance (DA).

Eunice Mgcina was nominated for the positions of speaker and chief Whip, while Mpho Moerane was nominated for the position of executive mayor.

However, the DA won the seats, with the ANC noting it was only “through the support they received from other parties”.

The ANC said it will be “holding the DA administration accountable and ensure services are adequately delivered to the people of Johannesburg”.
