President Cyril Ramaphosa will participate in the Electoral Commission’s (IEC) announcement ceremony of the final results of the 2024 National and Provincial Elections on Sunday.

According to a statement issued by the Presidency, proceedings will start at 05:20pm at the National Results Operations Centre (ROC) at Gallagher Estate, Midrand.

South Africans cast their votes on Wednesday, 29 May 2024, in the seventh democratic National and Provincial Elections since the attainment of the right of all citizens to elect a government of their choice.

The elections were preceded by special voting days on 27 and 28 May 2024, as well as voting abroad.

The elections implemented the Electoral Amendment Act, which became law in June 2023, expanding the pool of contest for the National and Provincial Elections to independent candidates.

‘President Ramaphosa will deliver an address as part of the results ceremony,’ the Presidency said.

Meanwhile, the commission will at 8:30pm hold a media briefing on the finalisation
of results and updates on objections received.
