ANC SURGING AHEAD IN THE POLLS COUNTRYWIDE

04 August 2016

The African National Congress (ANC) is buoyant and energized at the latest results being released by the IEC National Results Center that show the organisation is surging ahead in the polls nationally.

According to results released by 20:00 the ANC has garnered  54.15% of the vote nationwide. The opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) is trailing behind at a mere 26.9%. 

This result affirms the organization’s confidence that South Africans have once again entrusted the ANC with managing the country’s municipalities

Contrary to the doomsday predictions of a range of pollsters, commentators and analysts the voters of South Africa continue to have confidence in the ANC. 

South Africans have once again come out countrywide to reaffirm the ANC’s progressive, pro-poor, pro-development service delivery agenda. 

The ANC has run a positive election campaign grounded in confidence and optimism, and rooted in the organization’s outstanding service delivery track record: and the people of South Africa have spoken. 

As results continue to come in to the National Results Center, the ANC has the utmost confidence that as the evening wears on, we will build on our current base for more than 10 million South Africans who have entrusted the ANC with their vote for us to continue creating a better life for all.
