2026 local elections · South Africa

Latest updates

Majority or hung council?

More than half the seats makes an outright majority.

Outright majority

One party holds more than half the council seats.

Hung council

No party has a majority. Parties may work together in a coalition or support agreement.

Seats pending

The allocation is incomplete. Estimates can change as more results arrive.

Illustration: a 10-seat council needs 6 seats for a majority. Exactly half is not enough. Election results alone do not tell us who governs now.
