The Democratic Alliance (DA), with 23 seats, retained its status as the official opposition in the legislature. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a newly established party, became the third-largest party in the province with eight seats, while the Freedom Front Plus (FF+) and Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) retained one seat apiece. Three other parties – the African Christian Democratic Party, the Congress of the People, and the Independent Democrats – lost their representation in the legislature.[1]
