It'll be anc, eff and mk to ensure they can continue to ruin the clowntree.

Voter density. District might be yellow, but they might only have 20 000 people, while another district is green and have 100 000 people

exactly this

Really? Here:

NPE Results Dashboard 2024

Provincial legislature, Eastern Cape.

Link doesn't work. If it's not that, then the other option is the differences in voting patterns. ANC could be at 80% with 10% DA in the green parts and 40% ANC, 50% DA in the yellow parts.

Right but I’m saying that the numbers don’t surely reflect seats?

Seats are calculated based on gross voting numbers. Performance per VD or ward is inconsequential.

Yup. Fun times ahead. Looting on a scale never seen before. Only difference is, now it's a 3-way split.

Been at risk since yesterday. 99% votes counted and still not over the 50% threshold. Safe to say NC is on the list of provinces the ANC lost a majority in. What a result though. That is three provinces now and MP at risk, too.
