South Africa Faces Historic Political Shift as ANC Risks Losing Majority
TL;DR Summary
Early results from South Africa's election indicate that the ruling African National Congress (ANC) may lose its majority for the first time in 30 years, with only 43.5% of the vote counted from 22% of polling stations. The Democratic Alliance (DA) and Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) are the main opposition parties. If the ANC falls below 50%, it will need to form a coalition to stay in power. Final results are expected by June 2, and the ANC will have 14 days to form a new government if it loses its majority.
