South Africa Counts Votes in Contested National Poll
- By Anita Powell
South Africa’s electoral commission counted votes Thursday, the day after a national poll that was expected to be the toughest test yet for the long-ruling African National Congress. Initial results showed the ANC with a slimmer lead than in past elections. The electoral commission also said it would conduct an audit after reports of double voting.
