Election Outcome: Malema's EFF and Zuma's MK Party Expected to Emerge as Key Contenders in 2024 Elections
A recent poll conducted across South Africa's three major metropolitan areas suggests that the EFF and Jacob Zuma's MK Party will wield significant influence in the forthcoming May 29 elections.
The survey, conducted by African Innovation Research South Africa (AIRSA) in Durban, Johannesburg, and Cape Town, revealed that both the ruling ANC and the official opposition, the DA, are facing notable challenges from the EFF and MK, particularly among younger voters and those in KwaZulu-Natal.
The survey, which involved 1,030 participants representing a diverse cross-section of the South African population in these metros, was conducted face-to-face. It's important to note that the survey was limited to these three metros and may not fully reflect the national voting sentiment.
IOL has tasked AIRSA with conducting a nationwide survey in each province, and the results are expected to be released by the end of April.
The survey findings showed that Julius Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) emerged as the top choice among participants, with approximately 20% indicating their intention to vote for the EFF. Following closely behind was the African National Congress (ANC), with about 18.4% of participants expressing their support for the ruling party, while 17% indicated they would vote for MK. The Democratic Alliance (DA) garnered roughly 13.3% of participant support.
