Zuma Rise Hits Polisario
Preliminary results from South Africa’s municipal elections, with around 98% of the votes counted, show the African National Congress falling to 31.1%, down from 45.6% in 2021. The Jacob Zuma-led uMkhonto we Sizwe Party won 9.7% in its first municipal election. The party’s rise—and its support for Morocco’s autonomy proposal for Western Sahara—bolsters its influence and coalition prospects, at a time when around 120 of the country’s 205 municipalities may have no outright majority. This could shift the balance of debate over Pretoria’s position on Western Sahara, but it does not mean an automatic change in foreign policy, which remains dependent on coalition outcomes and government decisions.
