After Wednesday's two contests, there have now been 41 by-elections since the November 2021 Local Elections. Voters delivered a different winner in 11 of those wards – two of them in this week's by-election in the Central Karoo where the DA defeated a local party; and uMhlathuze (Richard's Bay) in KZN, where the incumbent ANC lost after a swing to the IFP.
