From the IEC results and operations centre
in Bellville an update of voter results has come in. In the Western Cape the Democratic Alliance
is currently sitting at 59.42%, the ANC is at 32.75% and the EFF is third with
2.01%.
At this point around 90% of the voting
stations in the Western Cape have been captured. The numbers indicate that the
DA has held onto its Western Cape and in fact increased numbers.
Disappointment
must be looming from the ANC as they were confident that the Metro areas in
Cape Town were going to bring in numbers for the ANC, a hope that we have not
seen so far.
Nationally the ANC is leading so far with
62.8 % of the voters in their favour, a decrease of 3.1 % from the last general
elections in 2009. The DA has shown an
increase of 5.8% from the last elections currently sitting at 22.5 %. The EFF
is at 5.1 % and the IFP at 2.4 %.
Further results are expected to come in throughout the night as
the IEC tries to wrap up the capturing of the voting.
