SAElections2019: Early indications are that the ANC has taken a serious knock in KwaZulu-Natal, where, based on votes currently counted, it is expected to slip to 56.68 %, a drop of nearly 10%.

In 2009 the governing party took 63.97% of the vote in the province, capitalising on the wave of popularity of then party president Jacob Zuma.

The ANC has, however, maintained its outright majority in the province, allowing it to govern KwaZulu-Natal without a coalition partner. The IFP appears to have made something of a comeback in the province, where, according to the CSIR, it was scheduled to take 15.13% of the vote. The party only secured 10.17% in 2014, a drop from its 2009 figure of 20.52%. This current election’s improvement is attributable to the implosion of the National Freedom Party , which took less than 1% of the vote.

According to the CSIR, the DA was likely to take 14.52% in KwaZulu-Natal, an improvement on its 2014 figure of 13.3%.
