By-election results affirm the DA’s readiness to govern for all South Africans
12 April 2018
The DA would like to thank the residents of Ward 2 in the Kou-Kamma Municipality in the Eastern Cape for once again reaffirming their support and signalling their renewed confidence in the DA.
Following yesterday’s by-elections in the Kou-Kamma, the DA received 55.80% of the votes compared to the ANC’s 43.45% and the EFF’s 0.75%.
The fact that the DA retained this ward, is a vote of confidence in our ability and commitment to put the residents of Kou-Kamma first, above petty politics.
The DA also made great strides in Ward 16 in the Mogalakwena by-elections in Limpopo. Our support in this ward has increased by 9 percentage points from 21.99% in 2016 to 30.42% in 2018. The ANC received 43.53% of the votes and the EFF 26.05%.
