Councils where the party is the largest
As reported from the IEC's 8 Nov declaration. Outlets give different hung totals (127 to 141), so treat the split as approximate. Under the Municipal Structures Act each council must meet within 14 days of declaration to elect a speaker and mayor; the 22 Nov date is counted from 8 Nov, not an official calendar. A bill before Parliament would extend the window to 30 days.
