South Africa's ANC lost its national majority and faces local elections on 4 November

The African National Congress (ANC) lost its parliamentary majority in South Africa's last national election, the first time since apartheid ended in 1994. Its vote share fell from 70% in 2004 to 40% two decades later. Ahead of the 4 November local elections, an Ipsos poll put its support at 30%, after it won 46% in 2021.
