AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Local Election Count: The ANC held a narrow national lead over the DA, at 32% to 31.3%, with about 15% of voting districts counted. Early tallies put the DA ahead in Gauteng and the Western Cape, and the MK Party in KwaZulu-Natal; results remain provisional. Coalition Watch: South Africa could see more than 100 hung councils, setting up tough negotiations. Gwede Mantashe urged the ANC to accept the outcome and draw on its Government of National Unity experience to build workable local coalitions. Counting and Security: Results processing is delayed in parts of uMgungundlovu, where recount demands have slowed progress. KwaZulu-Natal police report 18 election-related cases since special voting began, including intimidation and Electoral Act violations. US Trade: Washington plans to remove South Africa from AGOA from January 2027, putting jobs in export sectors at risk. President Cyril Ramaphosa says Pretoria will pursue a bilateral trade deal with the US.
