Cyril Ramaphosa, the candidate of the African National Congress, who lost his parliamentary majority after 30 years following the general election held on May 29 in South Africa, which will be governed by a coalition government for the first time, was re-elected as president by the vote of the National Assembly.
In South Africa, the head of state is not elected by the people, but by simple majority voting in the National Assembly. Parties gain seats in the parliament according to the rate of votes they receive, and MPs elect the president after the election.
