The African National Congress (ANC), which has governed South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994, is poised to lose its parliamentary majority for the first time in 30 years. Partial election results indicate the ANC's vote share has dropped to around 40%, with the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) securing approximately 25% and 9% of the vote, respectively. With over 99% of polling stations reporting, the ANC's vote share stands at 41.37% with 81.5% of polling stations reported. The ANC's decline reflects widespread dissatisfaction among voters over issues such as national decline and economic challenges. The ANC will likely need to form a coalition to maintain power, marking a significant shift in South Africa's political landscape.
