What the South African Elections Say about Its Democracy
Results of the elections of 29 May and 14 June 2024

29 May: Legislative elections
A hung Parliament. For the first time in its history, the African National Congress (centre-left, social-democrat) fails to win an absolute majority of seats. However, with around 40% of the seats, it is well ahead of its main rival, the Democratic Alliance (centrist, social-liberal).
14 June: Presidential elections
Cyril Ramaphosa (African National Congress) is re-elected with 86% of the vote against Julius Malema and forms a coalition government with the Democratic Alliance, the Inkatha Freedom Party (conservative right-wing Zulu, economically liberal) and the Patriotic Alliance (radical right-wing conservative and anti-immigration, claiming to be the party of the so-called coloured minority).
