Although narrowly missing a two-thirds majority, the ANC will dominate the National Assembly, with 264 seats compared to its closest competitor, the DA, with 67.
The announcement by Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) chairperson Brigalia Bam was met with applause on Saturday evening in Pretoria.
The ANC was happy with its performance in the election despite missing a two-thirds majority by a whisker. Its spokesperson, Ishmael Mnisi, said the party did not need such a majority and never said it wanted one.
