Alfred Duma Local Municipality is a local municipality of South Africa. It was established after the August 2016 local elections by the merging of Emnambithi/Ladysmith and Indaka local municipalities.
The municipal council consists of seventy-two members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Thirty-six councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in thirty-six wards, while the remaining thirty-six are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 3 August 2016 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of forty-six seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election.
