Possible error?

I am not 100% sure, but from what I can tell from IEC data, there was 4 defections from the NNP to the ID in 2004. I don't want to edit the article without receiving confirmation, so I hope someone can double check? -- Darthdyas (talk) 01:39, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Late reply, but yes that is correct. I have edited the text of that section to make it clear. - htonl (talk) 09:54, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

recount

Almost all party totals have changes slightly as a result of the recount, I've updated the most significant two from the recount (CIP and DA) however somebody should really go through and update all of them to be accurate. I've also put a brief explanation about the recount and the minor seat changes it resulted in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.222.26.230 (talk) 22:36, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing it out - I'm in the process of updating the script I used to generate the tables and then I'll update the whole 2021 table to account for the recount. htonl (talk) 07:18, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
