The uMngeni Local Municipality council consists of twenty-five members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Twelve councilors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in twelve wards, while the remaining are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received.
The African National Congress (ANC) won a majority in each of the 2000, 2006, 2011 and 2016 elections, while in the 2021 South African municipal elections the Democratic Alliance (DA) won a majority of thirteen seats in the council.
