From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article summarises the results of the 29 May 2024 South African general election, including both national ballot and regional ballot outcomes.
Several smaller parties received too few votes in the regional constituencies to secure a seat but received enough votes overall to win seats in the National Assembly (based on their allocation of compensatory seats).[1]
