The hall, which was once a space where the validated results were lit up on the electronic board as they came in, has now been transformed into a dining area.  

The MK Party has replaced the ANC as the largest party in the province, with an announcement due on how many seats political parties secured in the KZN legislature.

Officials from various political parties began entering the results centre here, but they remain mum on the prospects of forming coalitions.

The National Results are set to be announced on Sunday evening in Midrand.
