Elections 2024: Mbalula says the ANC has nothing to celebrate

JOHANNESBURG - African National Congress (AN) secretary general Fikile Mbalula says there is nothing to celebrate about the party’s performance at the elections.

On Sunday, Mbalula addressed the media at the National Results Operations Centre in Midrand on the outcomes of the polls.

After 30 years of being in government, the party has lost its majority in Parliament, Gauteng, Northern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.

Mbalula said the ANC’s national executive committee (NEC) would hold a meeting to reflect on the party’s electoral decline. 

“While the ANC has won the most results in this election, the results show a significant decline in the ANC’s support from previous elections. While there are several factors that contribute to the decline in support, the results send a clear message to the ANC. We wish to send a message to the people of South Africa that we have heard your concerns.”
