Democratic alliance da federal congress
“I’m pretty confident that things will go my way” - Steenhuisen on DA congress
Steenhuisen said he’s already planning to lead the party into next year’s local government elections.
At least 2,000 delegates will decide on who should lead the party, the conference was necessitated by the resignation of Mmusi Maimane in October last year.
This is in response to today's City Press where the paper says it has reliably learnt that some of the party's senior members are plotting to form a breakaway "true liberal party".
The party's top brass has given the green light to the caucus to bring a fresh motion of no confidence in Patricia de Lille which could see her leave her job soon.
Mmusi Maimane was re-elected at the DA’s congress this weekend, together with Federal Council Chair James Selfe and Federal Chair Athol Trollip.
The official opposition held an elective congress in Tshwane this weekend where key constitutional changes were made.
Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane was re-elected to his position, together with the party’s federal chair Athol Trollip and Federal Council chair James Selfe.
Mmusi Maimane has been re-elected as leader of the Democratic Alliance.
The Democratic Alliance opened its elective congress in Tshwane on 7 April 2018 with songs, dancing and a stirring speech from party leader Mmusi Maimane.
If agreed to at its federal congress next month, the DA will be allowed the party to force any member appointed in government to resign, for among other things, bringing the party into disrepute.
The Western Cape Premier says she imagines it would be difficult now for her to have a free and fair disciplinary process.
Western Cape Premier Helen Zille has reiterated that her tweets were not justifying or praising colonialism or apartheid.
Western Cape DA leader Patricia De Lille believes Mmusi Maimane is the right man for the job.
The DA says it will appeal to the transport minister and the president not to sign the e-tolls bill.
