Politics

{{main|Mnquma Local Municipality elections}}

The municipal council consists of sixty-three members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Thirty-two councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in thirty-two wards, while the remaining thirty-one are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 1 November 2021 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of forty-five seats on the council.

The following table shows the results of the election.{{Cite web |title=Election Result Table for LGE2021 — Mnquma |url=https://wikitable.frith.dev/lge2021/EC122 |access-date=2022-02-12 |website=wikitable.frith.dev}}
