The general election is being touted as the most hotly contested since 1994, with opposition parties hoping to push the ANC below 50% in provinces such as Gauteng and the Northern Cape.
ANC electoral support declined in the past 10 years under former president Jacob Zuma, culminating in it falling below 50% nationally in the 2016 municipal elections.Since Zuma’s resignation in February 2018, the party under new President Cyril Ramaphosa has been running on a ticket of the “new dawn”, hoping to reinvigorate its support.
