Phokwane Local Municipality elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Phokwane Local Municipality council consists of nineteen members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Ten councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in ten wards, while the remaining nine are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 1 November 2021 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of ten seats, but the party lost its majority after losing a by-election on 20 April 2022 to the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in a by-election on 20 April 2022.[1]
