Mnquma Local Municipality elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mnquma Local Municipality council (within the South African Amathole District Municipality) consists of sixty-three members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Thirty-two councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in thirty-two wards, while the remaining thirty-one 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 1 November 2021 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of forty-five seats.
