ACDP questions why 3,000 pledged supporters did not vote for it in George

ACDP provincial chairperson Grant Haskin said the party had signed up about 3,000 people in a George municipal ward who pledged to vote for it. The party received only about 10% of the support it had expected, while the remaining votes apparently went to the Democratic Alliance and the Patriotic Alliance. Haskin said similar outcomes occurred in South Peninsula, Lotus River, Bellville South, Heideveld and Mitchells Plain, citing possible gaps in voter education and short-term political campaigning.
