Princess Faku, the incumbent ANC mayor and Dr WB Rubusana regional chairperson, holds a dominant 72.5% implied probability as the leading outcome for Buffalo City's next mayoral term. The ANC's strong local control, Faku's unopposed re-election as regional chair in late 2025, her topping of the party's proportional representation councillor list in September 2026, and a recent mayoral committee reshuffle have consolidated her position ahead of the November local government elections. Trader consensus reflects the ANC's historical majority in this Eastern Cape metro and limited credible opposition, with UDM deputy president Nqabayomzi Kwankwa positioned at 2.8% as his party's candidate amid recent campaign-related controversy. Other listed contenders remain at single-digit or negligible levels, consistent with the party's expected outright council majority and internal factional dynamics favoring Faku. Scheduled polling day and final candidate lists represent the primary near-term variables.
