#SAElectionResults2019: Stale message from UDM and Cope put voters off | IOL News

Durban - Cope and UDM’s strategy of criticising the ANC and sticking to the message that they are better than the ruling party has led to them losing valuable votes at the polls, according to political analyst Ralph Mathekga. On Saturday, when election results were officially released the UDM received 78 030 votes or 2 seats in the National Assembly. In 2009, the UDM had 149 80 votes and 4 seats in parliament.

“We have noticed the lower percentage of voter turnout and the effect that it might have had on the election results. The UDM definitely takes issue with the Independent Electoral Commission’s handling of these elections. There were far too many big mistakes on their side that negatively impacted on whether this election was indeed free and fair. In particular, the Commission’s handling of the complaints will be the final test that will make or break the IEC’s reputation and credibility.

Lekota is reported to have said that Cope needs to be operated on in preparation for the 2021 local government elections.

Nonsense analysis even WE EFF criticize the anc but we did not loose votes ! Cope tried to be more appealing to whites while shedding black votes he failed to keep the equilibrium
