New poll shows support for ANC close to 40% a month before elections
If South Africans headed to the polls tomorrow, the African National Congress (ANC) would get 40.2%, the Democratic Alliance (DA) 21.9%, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) 11.5% and the start-up uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Party 8.4% of votes.
This is according to the latest poll by multinational market research company Ipsos.
Former corruption-accused president Jacob Zuma’s MK party, which was established in December 2023, has edged its way into fourth position, winning more support than the myriad of new parties altogether.
With mere weeks left before the 2024 general elections is set to take place on 29 May, the Ipsos poll also revealed that the ANC appears to be struggling to impress voters.
