The regional and national seat allocation was also confirmed.

In total, 18 parties won seats.

That is up from the 14 parties which won seats in 2019.

NEED TO FORM A COALITION

The African National Congress (ANC) saw their number of seats plummet from 230 to 159, below the ‘magical’ 201 mark which would’ve seen it retain sole power.

The ANC will now need to form a coalition in order to remain the ruling party.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) improved from 84 seats in 2019 to 87 this time around.

The MK party were the big winners, going from obscurity to 58 seats, while the EFF dropped from 44 to 39.

The IFP also improved from 14 to 17 seats.
