ANC satisfied with by-election results
5 March 2009
The African National Congress (ANC) is satisfied with the results of yesterday's by-elections in which it retained all but one of the seats it won in the 2006 local government elections.
While by-election results are not considered to be a reliable indicator of broader trends, the ANC is pleased that its average share of the vote across all 21 by-elections is higher than in the last round of by-elections in January.
With the exception of Ward 3 in Imbabazane in KwaZulu Natal, which the ANC lost by 25 votes, the ANC won in all the wards it held previously.
The ANC will build on the campaign work done in all these wards, to ensure that it consolidates its support and increases its share of the vote in these areas in the national and provincial elections on 22 April.
