Malema Breaks Silence as EFF Faces Electoral Setback in 2026 Elections

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) president Julius Malema has addressed the party’s performance in the 2026 Local Government Elections, following indications of a significant decline in its electoral support.

Malema delivered his message during a media briefing at the IEC National Results Operations Centre at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand on Friday.

The briefing comes as election results point to a difficult outcome for the EFF, particularly in several major metropolitan municipalities where the party had hoped to strengthen its political influence.

The party’s performance has attracted attention, with voters appearing to have shifted their support towards other political organisations in several areas.

Malema was expected to reflect on the election outcome, address concerns surrounding the party’s declining support and outline the EFF’s position following the latest results.

The briefing also provided an opportunity for the party leadership to communicate with supporters and respond to questions about its political future.

The EFF has played a significant role in South African politics since its establishment in 2013, making its performance in the 2026 elections an important development for the party.

The full briefing is expected to provide further insight into Malema’s response to the election results and the party’s next steps.
