Provisional results on Saturday showed the ruling party secured 57.51% of the votes in Wednesday’s general election. The main opposition party Democratic Alliance picked up 20.76% and the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters garnered 10.79%, the Independent Electoral Commission said on its website. It was the worst electoral performance by the late Nelson Mandela’s former liberation movement, which has governed South Africa since the country’s first free election marked the end of white minority rule in 1994.The provisional results also showed the ANC won a tight provincial race in Gauteng, where South Africa’s biggest city and commercial center Johannesburg and the administrative capital Pretoria are located, with 50.19% of the vote.
