The party has obtained 1.59% of the province's 80.31% results from the province's voting districts that have been finalised as at 11am on Thursday. "The figure shows, yes," Marais said while addressing media at IEC results centre in Cape Town when asked to comment on being set to become a Freedom Front Plus member of the provincial legislature. "The only good news in these elections was the Freedom Front Plus. We want a federal system where more powers and authority is devolved to provinces," Marais said.

Marais said he wanted to see DA premier candidate Alan Winde deliver on his promise for a Western Cape police force and building more houses.
