Tania Campbell has been voted back into office as the mayor of Ekurhuleni.
Campbell received 124 votes in a special council sitting convened to elect a mayor. She was voted out during October in a motion of no confidence tabled by the African National Congress (ANC).
The ANC's Jongizizwe Dlabathi failed to garner enough votes to usher in the ANC's return to power in Ekurhuleni.
The ANC failed to reach an agreement with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) which would have seen the two co-govern Ekurhuleni. The EFF helped re-elect Campbell on Wednesday just as the party did in 2021.
