The ANC will retain its two-thirds majority, according to an Ipsos-Markinor poll published in Beeld newspaper on Tuesday.

Opposition parties did not use the opportunity to sway undecided voters, researchers found in the poll which was conducted for Media24.

Ipsos-Markinor analyst Anneke Greyling said the results, based on interviews with 3500 eligible voters, showed that the African National Congress might have lost some support, but would still retain a two-thirds majority.

It predicted that the ANC would get 67 percent of the vote as opposed to its 69 percent in general elections in 2004.

Its predictions for other parties are: Democratic Alliance (13 percent, up from 12 percent in the last elections), Congress of the People (11 percent), Inkatha Freedom Party (3.5 percent, down from seven percent), Independent Democrats (1.5 percent, down from 1.7 percent), United Democratic Movement (one percent, down from two percent), African Christian Democratic Party (one percent, down from two percent) and the Freedom Front Plus (one percent, the same as in the last elections).
