<p>South Africa's ruling ANC was on track Friday to score its worst electoral result ever, with the latest tallies showing voters deserted the party in droves and ended its 30-year political dominance.</p>

<p>The African National Congress (ANC) is now all but certain to fall below 50 percent of the vote, forcing the party to seek a coalition partner to have enough backing to name a president and form a government.</p>

<p>This marks an historic evolution in the country's democratic journey, as the party has enjoyed an absolute parliamentary majority since 1994, when its then leader Nelson Mandela led the nation out of white minority rule and into democracy.</p>

<p>With more than two thirds of the votes cast in Wednesday's general election counted, the ANC remained in the lead but with a score below 42 percent, compared to the 57 percent it won in 2019 and far off the 62 percent secured by Mandela in 1994.</p>

<p>As votes continued to be validated, data from the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) showed the centre-right Democratic Alliance (DA) held second place with 22.64 percent.</p>

<p>But it was not a surge by the DA that cut into the ANC's vote share.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In third place was former president Jacob Zuma's uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) on 12 percent, a surprise score for a party founded barely six months ago as a vehicle for the former ANC chief. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The final results are expected at the weekend, but with the trends clear and the votes stacking up on the IEC website, politicians and pundits were turning their attention to the prospects of an ANC-led coalition.</p>

<p>But there will also be reluctance to invite Zuma, who left government facing a raft of corruption allegations, or firebrand Julius Malema's radical leftist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) into government after both fought bitter campaigns against their former party. &nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>'Unpredictable partners'&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The ANC retains the loyalty of many voters for its leading role in overthrowing white minority rule and its progressive social welfare and black economic empowerment policies are credited by supporters with helping millions of black families out of poverty.</p>

<p>But over, three decades of almost unchallenged rule, its leadership has been implicated in a series of large-scale corruption scandals, while the continent's most industrialised economy has languished and crime and unemployment figures have hit record highs.</p>

<p>Some experts expect the party to patch up ties with one or both of the radical left groups, especially as the Zuma's MK has stormed to victory in his home province of KwaZulu-Natal.</p>

<p><strong>Telangana Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Date, Schedule:&nbsp;</strong>Voting is being held in&nbsp;Telangana&nbsp;in third phase of India's Lok Sabha elections on Monday (May 13).</p>

<p><strong>Telangana Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Date, Schedule</strong></p>

<p>Telangana, which separated from Andhra Pradesh in 2014 through the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, following the Telangana movement, quickly rose to national prominence.</p>

<p>Traditionally a stronghold of the Congress party, the political landscape underwent a significant transformation with the emergence of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), formerly known as the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), under the leadership of K Chandrashekhar Rao.</p>

<p>The strategic name change of the party in 2022 was aimed at the 2024 General Elections.</p>

<p>On the other hand, despite the&nbsp;setback&nbsp;in the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, the Indian National Congress (INC) anticipates a resurgence in 2024, buoyed by a strong performance in the 2023 state assembly elections.</p>

<h2><strong>Past elections and present outlook</strong></h2>

<p>During the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, Telangana played a pivotal role as one of the initial states to cast votes. With minimal changes in the state's political dynamics over the last five years, it is poised to maintain its significance in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.</p>

<h2><strong>Telangana Lok Sabha elections 2024</strong></h2>

<p>Telangana ranks 13th among states in terms of numbers of Lok Sabha seats, boasting a total of 17 seats. Among these, three seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates, while two seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates. In the 2019 elections, the BRS (formerly TRS) emerged as the dominant party, securing nine seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) followed with four seats, relegating the INC to third place with three seats. The All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) also secured one seat.</p>
