The ANC garnered the most votes in Johannesburg, but still fell short of a 50% majority, meaning the metro would have be run through a coalition.<\/p>\n
The metro was the last to be counted, and the release of the city’s results officially brought the 2016 local government elections to a close on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
According to the IEC elections dashboard at the results centre in Pretoria, the ANC had 44.55%, the DA 38.37% and the EFF 11.09% of the votes.<\/p>\n
The ANC won 121 seats: 84 ward and 37 proportional representation; the DA got 104 seats: 51 ward and 53 PR seats.<\/p>\n
The EFF got 30 PR seats, the IFP got 5 PR seats, the AIC 4 PR seats, while the FF Plus, Aljama, UDM, ACPD, Cope and the PA got one PR seat each.<\/p>\n
Much like the other Gauteng metros, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni, the council was hung, as no single party achieved more than 50%.<\/p>\n
