From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Inkosi Langalibalele Local Municipality council consists of forty-seven members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Twenty-four councillors were elected by first-past-the-post voting in twenty-four wards, while the remaining twenty-three were chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives was proportional to the number of votes received

It was established for the 2016 South African municipal elections by the merging of Imbabazane and uMtshezi local municipalities.[1]
