President Cyril Ramaphosa’s party suffered heavy losses in this election but it still earned a majority share in the North West, Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces.The party still has loyal support in the northernmost province, collecting a resounding 74.23%. However, it is down fractionally from 77% in 2019.
