The Electoral Commission has gazetted the names and the final allocation of seats of the 9 473 councillors who have won seats in the 2021 Municipal Elections which were held on 1 November 2021.
The published list excludes the 60% councillor seats in District Councils. These councillors will be elected at the first meeting of local municipal councils.
In terms of electoral prescripts, the Commission is required to declare the results of an election. A full list of the gazetted names can be found on https://bit.ly/3qiAQR7
The 213 municipal councils across the country now have 14 days within which to hold their first meetings.
Municipal managers bear responsibility for convening these first council meetings.
In the first meeting of local councils, the Commission will be conducting elections for the councillors who will be representing those local councils on District Councils.
This segment of the composition of the District Councils constitutes 60% of seats. The first meeting of district councils will naturally be preceded by the first meetings of local councils.
