As election day draws closer, the ruling party pulls out all the stops to woe voters. The ANC's recent election performance has also raised eyebrows. In the 2021 local elections, the ruling party's vote share dropped below 50% for the first time since 1994, signalling a shift in political dynamics.
The ANC's popularity has dropped due to corruption scandals and a slow economy, causing frustration among the urban middle class. Meanwhile, poor communities call for improved services, weakening the ANC's grip.
