This is a list of members of the fifth Gauteng Provincial Legislature as elected in the election of 7 May 2014. In that election, the African National Congress (ANC) retained a significantly diminished majority in the legislature, winning 40 of 73 seats. The Democratic Alliance (DA), with 23 seats, retained its status as the official opposition in the legislature. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a newly established party, became the third-largest party in the province with eight seats, while the Freedom Front Plus (FF+) and Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) retained one seat apiece. Three other parties – the African Christian Democratic Party, the Congress of the People, and the Independent Democrats – lost their representation in the legislature.[1]

The legislature was constituted on 21 May 2014 and, during its first sitting, it elected the ANC's David Makhura to his first term as Premier of Gauteng. The legislature also elected Ntombi Mekgwe as Speaker and re-elected Uhuru Moiloa as Deputy Speaker. Nomantu Ralehoko was elected as Chairperson of Committees, with Doreen Senokoanyane as her deputy.[2] In later reshuffles of the presiding offices, Ralehoko became Deputy Speaker, Mike Madlala became Chairperson of Committees, and Mpapa Kanyane became Deputy Chairperson of Committees.[3]
