Ward + municipal PR votes. Missing and grouped entries are not assumed to be zero. Published boundaries may differ between elections.
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.

Administrations & sources
MISTRA records the administrations that governed after the 2021 election, through 28 February 2026. The latest recorded administration is shown below, followed by its predecessors. Party roles and officeholders are recorded at formation; later changes may appear in the notes.
Members at formation · minority administration · 19 Nov 2025 · recorded active at source cutoff
Inaugural mayor: J. van der Colff (DA)
Source notes: No minute or report of the installation vote was found, but the DA's two seats could not have carried it alone. The ANC, PA and FF Plus are all coded Unknown.
6 recorded administrations · 2021–February 2026

19 Nov 2025 → Active at cutoff · 28 Feb 2026
Members at formation. Inaugural mayor: J. van der Colff.
No minute or report of the installation vote was found, but the DA's two seats could not have carried it alone. The ANC, PA and FF Plus are all coded Unknown.
- ANC + PA
13 Jun 2025 → 19 Nov 2025 · MONC
Members at formation. Inaugural mayor: A. Mietas.
The FF Plus was given the speakership when this administration formed, which rules out opposition but does not show whether it governed as a partner or supported from outside. It is coded Unknown.
- ANC
28 May 2025 → 13 Jun 2025 · Recomposition
Members at formation. Inaugural mayor: J. E. Davids.
This administration lasted sixteen days and no council sitting fell inside it, so the DA, PA and FF Plus are all coded Unknown.
- ANC + PA
Around 01 Jul 2023 → 27 Dec 2024 · Recomposition
Members at formation. Inaugural mayor: A. Mietas.
A by-election in December 2024 caused a seat to shift from the DA to the ANC during this administration, giving the ANC six of eleven seats and a majority on its own. The termination reason is the most likely event on the available evidence: no record shows whether the council removed the mayor in December 2024 by a motion of no confidence.
- DA + FF+
08 Dec 2022 → 01 Jul 2023 · MONC

Ward vs PR ballots
Ward: choose a person. PR: choose a party.
The candidate with the most votes in the whole ward wins one seat. They do not need more than 50%.
PR means proportional representation. Party-list seats balance the council’s overall party representation.
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.
