The vote counting in the Buffalo City metro has all but concluded, but not without a possible coin toss to determine the winner in one of the highly contested wards.
The vote counting in the Buffalo City metro has all but concluded, but not without a possible coin toss to determine the winner in one of the highly contested wards.
The IEC said the coin toss would decide the winner of ward 15 between the DA and EFF candidates after both parties received exactly 1,714 votes each.
But the ANC remains the dominant party in the Eastern Cape metro, without a clear majority, with 42% of the vote.
The IEC had earlier issued an alert for a coin toss to determine the winner of the ward but will now consider a recount of the vote.
