Preliminary standings

The preliminary results place ActionSA ahead in a ward previously held by the ANC. The party won Ward 110 in the 2021 Local Government Elections, when Maredi Angelinah Mphaho served as its ward councillor.

With two of the ward’s four voting stations still outstanding, the results remain preliminary, and the standings could change as the IEC continues counting.

Editor’s note: All results reported at this stage remain preliminary until ratified and published on the IEC’s results dashboard.
