Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>With more than half the votes counted, the spotlight is on the EFF as Jacob Zuma\u2019s MK Party (MKP) is slowly taking over the red berets’ spot with the third highest number of votes so far.<\/p>\n

By midday on Friday, the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) had counted and audited 59% of the votes and the ANC was leading with 41.88%. The DA trailed behind at 23.22% and the MKP at 11.52%, taking the EFF\u2019s third spot.<\/p>\n

The EFF accounted for 9.48% of votes and the difference between it and the MKP was 170,940 votes.<\/p>\n

The results could still change as the IEC has started to record more votes from eight of the country\u2019s metros with larger numbers of voters.<\/p>\n
