In the last election in 2019, the ANC garnered 57.5% of the vote.
Ipsos’s poll found support for the main opposition Democratic Alliance strengthening slightly to 21.9%, from 20.5% in February.
It also showed that the newly formed uMkhonto weSizwe Party backed by former President Jacob Zuma is drawing support from the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters. Ipsos placed the EFF at 11.5%, down from 19.6% in February, and the so-called MKP at 8.4%. DM/Bloomberg
