The final results in the National and Provincial Elections were announced by the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) at the National Results Operation Centre (ROC) on Saturday.

The announcement came three days after over 17 million of the 26 779 025 registered South Africans took to the polls on Wednesday.

A record 48 political parties contested the elections, making it the most contested polls since the dawn of democracy.

The final results of the 6th National and Provincial elections, announced by IEC Chairperson, Glen Mashinini, show that the Democratic Alliance (DA) will still remain the official opposition party, as it gained 20.77% of the votes. In 2014, the party received 22.23% of the total votes cast in the National Election.
