La DA gana su primer distrito municipal en un township de Gauteng en las elecciones parciales de Evaton West

La Alianza Democrática obtuvo su primera victoria en un distrito municipal dentro de un township de Gauteng tras derrotar por un estrecho margen al Congreso Nacional Africano en Evaton West. El resultado marca un cambio histórico en la zona de Emfuleni. Maki Tshabalala se convierte en la primera concejal de distrito de la DA en un township de Gauteng.

La DA ganó el distrito 28 en Evaton West por ocho votos, obteniendo el 32 por ciento frente al 32 por ciento del ANC. El partido duplicó su apoyo respecto a las elecciones locales de 2021. Los avances clave se registraron en el distrito de Water in the Wilderness Ministries, donde la DA alcanzó el 37 por ciento. Las elecciones parciales se llevaron a cabo tras la dimisión del exconcejal del ANC, Cedric Davids. El ANC había solicitado al Tribunal Electoral posponer la votación debido a preocupaciones sobre los votantes registrados, pero la solicitud fue rechazada. El EFF recibió el 12 por ciento, mientras que la Alianza Patriótica obtuvo el 8 por ciento. En otras elecciones parciales en el distrito 2 de Mmabatho Masuthle, el ANC se mantuvo firme con el 73 por ciento frente al 20 por ciento del EFF. La próxima ronda de elecciones parciales está programada para el 10 de junio. La DA cuenta ahora con 25 escaños en el consejo de Emfuleni.
