The elections were held yesterday by the Independent Electoral Commission, and the four candidates from the ANC, EFF, MK Party, and MHRF were contesting for Eastdene, Hlalamnandi, and parts of Rondebosch.

The by-elections were prompted by the untimely death of former ANC councillor Gift Maseko.

The results were released early this morning, confirming the ANC has retained its position in the ward.
