Activity at the Independent Electoral Commission’s Results Operation Centre (ROC) seem to be slowing down, as media wait for the official announcement of the results for the 2009 General Election.

Everybody at the ROC, which is at the Cape Town International Convention Centre seem anxious as they await the results from various voting districts.

Results from the Winelands district have been released, with the African National Congress leading the polls as the Democratic Alliance secured second place.

As it stands now, in the Western Cape, the Democratic Alliance has secured over 50% of the vote in the province while the African National Congress has over 30%.

New party on the block, Congress of the People came in third with over 8%.

Media at the ROC are eagerly awaiting results from the City of Cape Town district.
