Mantsopa Local Municipality elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mantsopa Local Municipality elections is a democratic process through which the residents of Mantsopa Local Municipality, located in the Free State province of South Africa, elect their local government representatives. The Mantsopa Local Municipality council consists of eighteen members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Nine councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in nine wards, while the remaining nine are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received.

In the election of 3 August 2016, as well as the election of 1 November 2021, the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of eleven seats on the council.
