ANC WELCOMES BY-ELECTION RESULTS @KASIBCNEWS
The African National Congress (ANC) acknowledges the outcomes of the December 4th by-elections as an important step forward for our movement. While these results reflect continued trust from the people, they also serve as a reminder that we are not out of the woods yet.
The journey of rebuilding and renewing our movement, and delivering on the needs of our people, requires intensified effort and collective commitment. In Thabazimbi, Limpopo, we secured 10 wards, reflective of the support the ANC enjoys though much more could have been achieved. A significant victory in the Northern Cape saw the ANC reclaim a ward previously held by the Democratic Alliance (DA), signaling growing confidence in the ANC’s transformative agenda.
Moreover, in KwaZulu-Natal, the ANC achieved notable growth in a historically Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) ward, increasing its votes from 659 in 2021 and 211 on 29 May, to 914 votes in the latest by-election. These gains highlight the progress made in challenging spaces, even as we recognize the work still needed to solidify our support base.
We do not take these results lightly. They come with a clear message: we must redouble our efforts to tackle corruption, improve basic service delivery, and rebuild trust in communities that have felt neglected.
The ANC remains committed to confronting its shortcomings and ensuring that we deliver on the mandate entrusted to us by the people. The ANC extends its gratitude to the voters for their continued support and to our volunteers for their tireless dedication to the campaign. Your hard work is a testament to the resilience and strength of the ANC on the ground. As we move forward, the ANC calls on all its members, supporters, and structures to intensify efforts in rebuilding our movement and addressing the challenges that persist.
Together, we can and must deliver on the aspirations of South Africans and build a better future for all.
