IEC to Announce LGE 2026 Results Tonight
The Electoral Commission will officially announce the results of the 2026 Local Government Elections today, Sunday, 8 November 2026, at 18h00.
Counting is progressing well and is expected to conclude last night, Saturday, 7 November.
Ahead of today's announcement, the IEC confirmed it received 197 objections.
It says 54 have been dismissed as they were found to have no merit in terms of Section 65. Eight were withdrawn, and two were upheld. The two upheld objections are being dealt with, and those who lodged them have been communicated with.
The announcement will be broadcast live on the IEC's official YouTube and Facebook platforms.
The Commission has urged the public to follow its official channels for verified updates.
