Organization history 📅 14 August 2016 📍 South Africa

After a four-day meeting, the ANC National Executive Committee said it was disappointed by losses in key municipalities and acknowledged failure to retain outright majorities in several metros. The NEC accepted voters’ judgment and took collective responsibility for the party’s poor performance. It described the result as a call for introspection and organisational renewal. This response is significant as a party admission, while the election outcome itself remains the independent measure of voters’ choices.
