South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) has seen its support drop to 31% following municipal elections, according to Daily Sabah reports.

The ANC's declining popularity reflects growing public dissatisfaction with the party's governance, as opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) gains traction with 24% of the vote, Reuters notes.

Cape Town, a key political and economic hub in South Africa, is now witnessing increased political instability as voter sentiment shifts significantly away from the ANC.

The municipal elections results signal a broader national trend that may impact upcoming national elections, as citizens increasingly seek alternatives to traditional ruling parties.
