DA sees promising growth in Gauteng by-elections
26 April 2018
The DA grew from 28.81% to 33.14% in the ward 92 by-election in Joburg yesterday. We welcome these results as a testament to the Party’s goal of winning this province in 2019.
We contested four by-elections in Joburg and Tshwane yesterday. These took place in wards 92, 88 and 72 in Joburg as well as in ward 47 in Tshwane.
Further to the encouraging results that we saw in ward 92, we also grew from 82.67% to 91.69% in ward 72 while support remained consistent in ward 88 at 79.66%. In Tshwane we grew from 87.67% to 95.18% of voter support.
We are encouraged by these results because as they signal the growing trust the people of South Africa have in our ability to govern and change their lives for the better. We are the only party that can bring about Total Change in Gauteng.
