South Africa's ANC party on track to face 'nightmare' losses in municipal elections

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · Sub-Saharan Africa

South Africa's African National Congress party could face its worst-ever election result on Friday, with early counting suggesting it received only 32% ‌of the vote in the country’s municipal elections. Over two-thirds of votes have been counted so far, and the final results are expected later in the day.
