Support for the FF Plus grew with nearly 10% since the general elections on the 8th of May with yesterday's (Wednesday) by-election in Ward 83 in the Johannesburg Metro.
When compared to the municipal by-elections of 2016, support for the party increased from 3,78% to 23,27%.
In the same period, the DA's support in the Ward decreased with 16,49%. The voting percentage of the Ward was just above 28%.
These results confirm a further exodus of voters who are leaving the DA to join the FF Plus. It is becoming increasingly clear that after the 2021 local government elections, the FF Plus will play a significant role in local government as well.
The FF Plus has had governing partners in various municipal and metro councils since 2016 and these results consolidate the party's significance as a coalition partner with the aim of taking over ANC-controlled municipalities so as to ensure better service delivery to loyal taxpayers.
