Initial ballots tallied in South African parliamentary elections

Following the South African parliamentary election, it appears that the African National Congress (ANC) might no longer hold an absolute majority. As of now, with roughly 20% of the votes tallied, the ANC is falling short of 50%.

This development may mark the first instance since the termination of apartheid in 1994 that the ANC is not granted an unquestioned majority. It is anticipated to take some time, up to several more days, to tally all the votes.

The Election Commission expects to reveal final results sometime this weekend, potentially before then. Voter turnout was estimated to be about 70%, contrasting the 66% in the 2019 parliamentary election.
