CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The real politicking in South Africa may start after the final results of this week’s election are announced as the country faces the possibility of no outright winner. That means that as South Africa senses a landmark moment, there are complications coming if the ANC remains below 50%. South Africans vote for parties in national elections and not directly for their president. The national election results must be announced within seven days of polls closing on Wednesday. The independent electoral commission that runs the election says the results will be declared by Sunday, well within the time limit.
