WATCH: ANC leads in FS as vote counting draws to an end | News Article

The IEC in the Free State says it is almost done with capturing the results from 1 529 voting stations in the province.


The IEC Free State spokesperson, Mmabatho Rasengane, says although the province experienced a low voter turnout they are pleased that elections ran smoothly and the counting process is proceeding well. With over 67% of voting districts counted, indications are that the Free State remains a stronghold province of the ANC. Rasengane confirms that the ruling party is thus far taking the lead, followed by the DA, and the EFF.

The ANC Secretary-General and former Free State Premier, Ace Magashule, has expressed concern that the voter turnout for these elections was low, but said they are pleased that the ANC is still taking the lead in its home province.


Speaking to OFM News at the IEC Results operations Centre, Magashule said they are hopeful they will retain most seats in the provincial legislature, as well as in parliament.
