South Africa’s ANC has to share power after election blow

At a briefing late on Saturday, electoral commission head Mosotho Moepya said it would be ready to announce the full results on Sunday.

.

The commission said all objections raised by a number of political parties would be reviewed, and recounts would be ordered if needed.

.

The MK has said it would be prepared to work with the ANC, but not while it was led by Mr Ramaphosa.

.

He said there would have to be “policy alignment” between parties to form a coalition agreement

He added that any coalition partner would have to agree to the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill, which promises universal healthcare for all, signed into law earlier this month

But if an alliance with the ANC was reached, there would be a few non-negotiables, he said

Mr Steenhuisen also told the BBC he would have to consult pre-election coalition partners before considering any negotiations
