South Africa's ruling ANC party is on track for new lows in local polls, Al Jazeera reports, as voter support continues to erode.
The party faces a 'worst nightmare' with its vote share tumbling, Reuters notes, signaling the end of its dominance in municipal elections.
The ANC's declining popularity comes amid economic challenges and public dissatisfaction, with the private sector remaining mired in contraction, per Reuters.
Local election results have sparked concern among analysts about the ANC's future political trajectory, as it struggles to maintain its grip on power.
