Two contenders emerge for DA leader ahead of elective congress
Elections for the Democratic Alliance’s (DA’s) key leadership roles is set for April 11 and 12, and following nominations, Sibusiso Dyonase has challenged Geordin Hill-Lewis for the top spot as DA leader.
The party released the names of all nominated candidates for its federal positions, on Tuesday, where it was revealed that Cape Town Mayor Hill-Lewis will be challenged for the leadership position, which current leader John Steenhuisen will relinquish.
The DA said all nominations have been vetted and found to be compliant with its constitution.
Challenging the position of Federal Chairperson are nominees Solly Msimanga and Ivan Meyer.
Vying for the three roles of Deputy Federal Chairpersons are Cilliers Brink, Belinda Echeozonjoku, Siviwe Gwarube, Solly Malatsi, Anroux Marais, Nomafrench Mbombo and Nicholas Nyati.
“Candidate campaigns are now underway and [nominees] will canvass delegates, seeking their support at the election to be held at the Federal Congress in April. All candidate campaigns must comply with strict internal rules for campaigning, which the DA applies without fear or favour. The DA looks forward to a robust campaigning period ahead of Federal Congress,” the party said.
