2014 South African presidential election

An indirect presidential election occurred in South Africa on 21 May 2014. This came in response to the general election on 7 May 2014 where the African National Congress (ANC) received a reduced majority of 62.15% of the vote, gaining them 249 seats in the National Assembly. As required by the 1996 South African Constitution, a president must be elected by the National Assembly within 30 days following a general election. The ANC used their majority to re-elect Jacob Zuma in Parliament. He was re-inaugurated as the President of South Africa on 24 May 2014.
