History data & sources

Ward + municipal PR votes. Connecting bands show the same party’s share or seats between elections, not individual voters moving between parties. Select a year to inspect its values; use the election-year selector to explore its results and places.

The chart names the five largest parties across these elections. The vote list also names parties gaining at least 2 percentage points since the previous election; remaining votes are combined under Other. Other’s change compares the same group of parties in both elections. Missing values remain unavailable.

All points use the same ballot basis. Ballot totals are not counts of individual voters.
Missing or grouped party rows remain gaps unless a complete, ungrouped list establishes zero votes.
Municipal boundaries can change between elections. Published area results are not boundary-adjusted.

Historical comparisons use published area results. Boundaries may change between elections. Vote shares use the ballot labelled on each chart; ballots are not individual voters.

Vote percentages beside council seats combine ward and municipal PR ballots. Seat counts include both ward and PR councillors.

Seat calculation & source

These are the ward and PR seats published by the IEC. The totals add up to all 37 council seats. This is the historical election allocation, not a record of government changes during the term. Any grouped “Other” seats remain grouped.

Ward vs PR ballots

Ward: choose a person. PR: choose a party.

Ward ballot

The candidate with the most votes in the whole ward wins one seat. They do not need more than 50%.

Municipal PR ballot

PR means proportional representation. Party-list seats balance the council’s overall party representation.

Two ballots work together

Party ward votes and municipal PR votes both count towards the party’s overall seat allocation.

Outside metros, voters also have a separate district PR ballot. An independent can stand in a ward but not on a party PR list.

Understanding the results

IEC guide to council seats

IEC source figures

The council results cover all of uMdoni. Ward results include areas outside Ngwadini.

This page uses the Stats SA statistical main-place boundary labelled 2016. It overlaps 5 of the 2026 wards; the everyday town boundary may differ.

Town-to-ward mappings are available for 2026 only. The historical wards above belong to the whole municipality in 2016.

Positive-area intersections of the full-precision 2016 Stats SA main-place polygon and the MDB 2026 ward polygons. Display simplification is applied separately. Full-ward figures include votes outside the place; votes are never allocated by overlap area.
