An internal ANC survey has shown that the ruling party will lose its two-thirds majority and the Western Cape in next month’s general election. But although it finds the party will suffer a marginal loss in support overall it will retain power in the other eight provinces.
ANC members with access to the survey told the Mail & Guardian it found that the ANC had lost 5% of its national support -- from the 2004 figure of 69% to 64%.
This is a smaller decline than was initially expected when the ANC split and the rival Congress of the People (Cope) was formed. The survey is also in marked contrast to a Human Sciences Research Council survey, released this week, which found that the party will win the coming elections with a much reduced majority of 47%.
