South Africa Faces Historic Political Shift as ANC Risks Losing Majority
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.
