The official results showed the ANC won 62.65 percent of valid votes and 252 of 400 National Assembly seats. It had a clear majority but fell short of the two-thirds threshold needed to adopt a final constitution alone, making negotiation with other parties central to the next phase. The result reflected decades of mass organising and a broad alliance, while preserving a plural political settlement.
