Tswelopele Local Municipality elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tswelopele Local Municipality council consists of fifteen members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Eight councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in eight wards, while the remaining seven are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received.

The African National Congress (ANC) has won a majority in each election. In the 2021 South African municipal elections the African National Congress (ANC) won a reduced majority of ten seats on the council.
