This research project investigates the relationship between change in support for the ANC and the change in the provision of public services at the electoral ward level. The project replicates the study conducted by de Kadt and Lieberman (2017) and seeks to contribute further to their analysis. Contrary to expectations, there is a signi cant, negative relationship between service delivery and support for the ANC: The ANC is more likely to experience a decrease in support in electoral wards where it has done best at improving service provision.
