The ANC spokesperson, Mahlengi Bhengu, stated that coalition talks, or co-operation discussions as she prefers to call them, will only commence once the final numbers are confirmed. The ANC has held complete government control since 1994, but with a decline in electoral support since 2009, a coalition government at the national level seems likely this year.
Key party members like Fikile Mbalula, Naledi Pandor, and Nomvula Mokonyane have indicated that the party was not prepared for a coalition government and believed it would hinder the progress of transformation.
As of Friday afternoon, roughly 67% of the votes had been tallied, with the ANC hovering around the early 40s since Thursday. This uncertain outcome signals a potential shift in government structure.
