Raymond Mhlaba Local Municipality elections

The Raymond Mhlaba Local Municipality council was established in 2016 by the merging of the Nkonkobe and Nxuba local municipalities and consists of forty-five members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Twenty-three councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in twenty-three wards, while the remaining twenty-two are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 1 November 2021 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of thirty-three seats.
