This is a list of members of the second North West Provincial Legislature as elected in the election of 2 June 1999. In that election, the African National Congress (ANC) slightly augmented the majority it had won in South Africa's first post-apartheid elections in 1994; it controlled 27 seats in the 33-seat legislature. The ANC's Popo Molefe was elected to his second term as Premier of the North West, and O. J. Tselapedi was elected as Speaker of the North West Provincial Legislature.[1]
The official opposition was the United Christian Democratic Party, a new entrant, led by former Bophuthatswana leader Lucas Mangope; the Democratic Party also gained representation for the first time, with a single seat. The Freedom Front and New National Party retained one seat apiece.[2]
