Could the ANC lose more votes—and still hold on to power in South Africa’s biggest cities? The latest election polls point to a fragmented political landscape. Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh breaks down the national picture using the SMWX Election Lab, before examining the battles for Johannesburg, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, eThekwini, Nelson Mandela Bay and Buffalo City. We explore where the DA and MK Party are challenging the ANC, how smaller parties could shape coalition governments, and why winning more wards does not necessarily mean winning more council seats. We also unpack the ANC’s Constitutional Court battle with the IEC over candidate nominations—and what it could mean for voters and representation. How much can these polls really tell us? And who could turn electoral support into governing power?
