The Ndwedwe Local Municipality council consists of thirty-seven members elected by mixed-member proportional representation.
Nineteen councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in nineteen wards, while the remaining eighteen 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 1 November 2021, the African National Congress (ANC) won a reduced majority of nineteen seats.
