- The 2026 election saw fewer single-party majorities and more municipalities requiring multiparty coalitions.
- Ramaphosa urged parties to cooperate in good faith on electing office-bearers so councils can be formed and begin their work.
- According to Ramaphosa, elected councillors should prioritize residents’ needs and service delivery and prove worthy of public trust.
- The IEC announced the final results on Sunday; more than 15 million South Africans had voted the previous week.
Through this election, the South African people are demanding those entrusted with public service fulfil their responsibilities. Those who have been elected to councils now need to prove themselves worthy of the trust placed in them.— President Cyril Ramaphosa in his weekly newsletter following the 2026 local government elections.
