“In 2009, The DA received 69 percent and the the ANC 16 percent,” he said.
In Rosebank, the DA also dominated with around 68 percent of the votes going to the party and 20 percent to the ANC.
Truluck said the DA took a hit in the Rosebank area in this year’s elections – in 2009 the DA had dominated the area with 90 percent.
Saxonwold results revealed that 67 percent of the voters preferred the DA. It would also appear as though votes that went to COPE in the 2009 election were spread out to other parties in this year’s election.
