DA dominates Western Cape as PA emerges as main challenger - EWN

As the DA celebrates its dominance in municipalities across the Western Cape, the Patriotic Alliance has emerged as its immediate rival in several of those municipalities, bumping the ANC out of the way as the second-largest party.

The DA said that the local government elections have been an important turning point for the party - retaining municipalities, reclaiming wards from opposition parties and making inroads in historically non-DA communities.
