The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 1994 election for the same country, both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Each party's seats are the sum of the two seat rows the IEC returns for it.
Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
