According to the latest IPSOS Poll conducted from October 1, 2023, to December 1, 2023, the African National Congress (ANC) is projected to see a significant decline in support, dropping below the critical threshold of 40% in the upcoming 2024 elections.
This anticipated shift reflects a notable erosion in the party’s longstanding dominance within the South African political landscape. Concurrently, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) are poised to make substantial gains, surpassing the Democratic Alliance (DA) in electoral performance. This forecast marks a noteworthy development in the country’s political dynamics, signaling potential shifts in power and influence.
However, with the recent emergence of the MK Party, founded by former ANC members, the political landscape appears poised for further disruption. The introduction of this new entity adds a layer of complexity to the electoral calculus, potentially reshaping the dynamics between the ANC, EFF, and other political contenders.
As the 2024 elections draw nearer, the inclusion of the MK Party introduces a dynamic element that could alter the trajectory of South African politics, challenging established narratives and prompting parties to recalibrate their strategies in response to evolving voter sentiments and preferences.
