The following by-elections were held to fill vacant ward seats in the period from November 2021. In ward 21, the DA candidate had their party membership terminated after switching to ActionSA, and in the by-election held on 31 August 2022, the DA candidate retained the seat for the party. In ward 1, the ANC councillor died. In the resulting by-election in February 2023, Ferguson Moses retained the seat for the party, which had taken the seat from the Democratic Alliance (DA) in 2021. The Patriotic Alliance (PA) gained significant support to finish in third place. Moses defected to the Patriotic Alliance, resulting in a by-election held in October 2023. He retained the seat, the first by-election win in the Northern Cape for the PA. The DA candidate defected to the PA after nominations had closed, the third candidate to move from the DA to the PA in 2023. The election also saw the by-election debut of Build One South Africa, whose candidate received 1% of the vote. As a result of the October by-election, the ANC lost its majority in the municipality.
