Early DA lead set to hold in the Western Cape

With about 40% of voting districts counted, the Democratic Alliance in the Western Cape says it is “quietly confident” it will retain the province with a sufficient majority to govern without the need for a coalition.Speaking at the Western Cape results centre, the DA’s Premier candidate Alan Winde said his party is not celebrating just yet.And we can see the numbers But it is still early days, so a little bit still to go. But we’re cautiously optimistic,” he said.

This despite an optimism that a campaign based on “Ramaphoria” would be enough to sway Western Cape voters back to the party. Meanwhile Patricia De Lille’s Good party — has for now — overtaken the Economic Freedom Fights , the African Christian Democratic Party , and the Freedom Front Plus.Established only four months ago after De Lille resigned as Cape Town mayor and as a member of the DA, the party is tracking 3.36% of the vote.

The picture is so clear
