With counting completed in just 4% of the country’s districts in the national elections – the ANC has almost 49% of the national vote, the DA 32% and the EFF almost 6%. The FF Plus sits at close to 5%.Counting is progressing rapidly in the Eastern Cape and Western Cape with counting completed at 8% of the voting districts. Things are moving more slowly in Gauteng and Limpopo – where less than 1% of voting districts have completed counting.
The Good Party is, as expected performing best in the Western Cape and stands third behind the DA and ANC. The Good Party’s National Spokesperson Nthabiseng Lepoko says, “We are actually very grateful for what we’re seeing currently and that the people they are showing a little bit of confidence and maybe more later. At the moment we don’t know what the outcome will be. Which ever seats we gonna get, nationally or provincially, we will be happy with the outcome.
However there are concerns from the DA about the quality of the ink used at some voting stations. The opposition party is also worried the apparent shortage of ballots at some stations and the late opening of others. The DA’s Mike Moriarty says it’s still very early in the counting process. The party is currently sitting with less than half a percentage point of the national vote with counting completed in close to 10% of voting districts nationwide.“There’s many people who believe in what we have said that we respect the constitution of this country and we still believe in that up until now. We are not going after popularity. We are going on facts and we are standing by what we have said and we will be proven right.
