South African municipal election, 2006, in City of Cape Town

In the 2006 local government election, the Democratic Alliance was the largest single party in the City of Cape Town City Council with 90 of the 210 seats on the council, ahead of the African National Congress's 81 seats, but with no party holding a majority. [cite web | url=http://www.elections.org.za/lgeresults/Static%20Report/95/Seats%20by%20Municipality%20LCMC/CPT-1.pdf | title=Seat Calculation Summary: City of Cape Town | accessdate=2006-03-15 | format=PDF | year=2006 | publisher=Independent Electoral Commission] The DA has now increased it's majority, by introducing the Independent Democrats (South Africa) to the coalition, and so the DA-led council now has a majority of 22 seats.
