The National Working Committee of the ANC has been tasked with investigating reasons behind the party’s significant drop in support in Gauteng. In the 2019 elections, the ANC in Gauteng secured 50% of the vote, but this year’s results showed a sharp decline to just 34%. The NWC is expected to receive a report detailing the reasons that led to the party’s electoral setbacks in the country’s economic hub. Following this report, the NWC will then make recommendations to the ANC's National Executive Committee (NEC), which is the party’s highest decision-making body between conferences. Two key options could be considered, including disbanding the ANC’s structure in Gauteng or recalling some of its provincial leaders.
