IFP wins back Nquthu in by-election

25 May 2017 12:33 PM

The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has won the Nquthu Municipality by-election taking 19 seats.

This election comes after a huge amount of campaigning by the ANC in the area, with President Jacob Zuma and Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa both going to the municipal wards.

The by-election was called after no party was able to form an administration following the results of last year’s local elections.

The African National Congress (ANC) won 11 seats, with one seat each going to the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the National Freedom Party (NFP) and the Democratic Alliance (DA).
