A recount gave the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) the Ward 15 seat in Buffalo City Metro, breaking its initial 1,714–1,714 tie with the Democratic Alliance. The EFF had challenged the proposed coin toss and sought a review of ballots initially marked as spoiled; the recount added 39 votes to the EFF and eight to the DA. EFF representatives said the result underscored the need for scrutiny of the counting process, while the Electoral Commission had not publicly commented on allegations about how ballots were handled.
