ANC retains their lead in Lekwa
Residents can expect coalition governance in LLM.
With 30.3% of the votes in its pocket, the ANC is once again the leading party in Lekwa.
However, it needs to enter into a coalition with another party to secure their leadership in the council.
The ANC secured 10 seats on the council, while Lekwa Community Forum (LCF) and DA each claimed 4 seats, MK took 3 seats and the Freedom Front Plus, the EFF and the Service Delivery Party get 2 seats each.
Parties with 1 seat each are SACP and Independent Lekwa Party (ILP).
Despite a controversy over unsealed ballot boxes that are still in quarantine, the IEC said all counting was done. An investigation continues.
