IFP and EFF make the biggest gains in KwaZulu-Natal

The IFP and the EFF have made the biggest gains in KwaZulu-Natal, with both parties significantly increasing their representation in the provincial legislature at the cost of the ANC and the NFP.

The IFP, which has regained its status as official opposition to the ANC in the province, now has 14 seats in the 81 seat legislature, three more than the DA, which it has replaced as the official opposition. The NFP’s losses to the IFP were significant: the party, hard hit by the illness of its leader, Zanele Magwaza-Msibi, only managed to scrape two seats in the legislature, where it had previously occupied six.Acting provincial election head Ntombifuthi Masinga said the province had the highest proportion of first time voters around the country.
