Nala Local Municipality elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nala Local Municipality council consists of twenty-four members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Twelve councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in twelve wards, while the remaining twelve 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 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of fifteen seats on the council.

In the election of 1 November 2021, the ANC lost its majority, winning twelve of the available twenty-four seats.
