|||The little-known Karoo Gemeenskap Party (KGP) is in an unlikely third place on the national results board for wards won, winning two wards in Prince Albert in the Western Cape.
While the ANC has 86 ward seats and the DA 70 after 14 percent of voting districts have been counted, the KGP has two and the EFF and IFP one each, making them the only three other parties to have claimed a seat so far.
The KGP won three out of seven seats in Prince Albert in the 2011 elections, forming a coalition with the ANC, which had two, to govern the council.
KGP mayoral candidate Goliath Lottering won his ward with 45.7 percent of votes cast.
The DA won the other of the three wards counted thus far.
