A new poll in KwaZulu-Natal shows former president Jacob Zuma’s Mkhonto we Sizwe Party (MK) ‘has pushed the ANC and the IFP right out of the field and is currently the number one choice of voters’ in the province, according to City Press.
The report said the polling data had been ‘confidentially shared’ with the newspaper last week.
The data reportedly shows that the MK party ‘currently enjoys’ the support of 28% of registered voters in the province, followed by the ANC in second place with 27%. The ANC won the province in 2019 with 54.2% of the vote.
The report says the DA is third with 19%, the IFP fourth with 15%, and the EFF last, with 6%.
City Press says the poll was conducted by phone among 898 demographically representative registered voters between 23 February and 8 March). It is modelled for a voter turnout of 66% and has a margin of error of 3.8%.
