In 2014, support for the party dropped by over 10 percentage points to 53% and the party slipped below 50% in the 2016 local government election.
This is in line with the ANC’s own analysis that its voter base has simply stayed away from the polls in the last two elections. According to sources in the party, President Cyril Ramaphosa was the “winning ticket” for the party in the province and has proven popular even among minority groups in the province.
The ANC’s support among Africans, however, remained below expectations and less than the pre-2009 era.The ANC lost control of two metros in 2016 — Johannesburg and Tshwane. Majority of the province’s voters come from these municipalities along with Ekurhuleni.
Madness....ANC will easily win Gauteng, probably 66% or more. Decline is wishful thinking.
47%
Impossible. The Researchers did not take into account the outcome of local government elections.
ANC goin down!!! 👍🏻🎉💥🔥🎊💃🏼⚡️✨
Declines on research papers not ballot papers
This is lazy journalism as it doesn't provide the full picture. What percentages are the other parties getting? What is the % of undecided voters? If the ANC is standing at 50% and there are 10% undecided voters, it is implausible to reach a conclusion of a coalition government!
The Anc can still change this.that's why we have election campaigns.they must find out what's the reason and pour resources to change things.
I want it at 30%!!! E-tolls, Poor Transportation, dirty cities from their rule, Many illegal immigrants. Poor boarder control.
Not surprising,the ANC government in Gauteng is led by a Crisis Manager.
Well I am guessing people are waking up to the fact they have no idea what the hell they doing ! Voters are feeling the effects of incompetence with no change in their lifestyles
Only voters will change that vote stats
