Youth brigade says decisions taken at multiparty summit by its leaders are not in line with IFP's position.
The mother body was requested to withdraw from the declaration “or alternatively withdraw from the multiparty charter” and issue a media statement to that effect.
“We believe that as the vanguards of the party, we have a constitutional obligation to protect the integrity of the party and its gains,” said the IFPYB.In a statement replying to Mabaso’s letter, IFP spokesperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa cautioned the youth wing for being “hasty”.“The Party finds the IFPYB letter to be hasty, in that both the IFPYB chairperson and secretary are full-time members of the IFP NEC by virtue of their positions.
“Accordingly, they have jumped the gun to arrive at conclusive decisions, pronouncements and proposals without having been briefed on the outcomes of the National Convention.” Political parties united in a bid to unseat the governing African National Congress during a two-day meeting in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni., the coalition between seven political parties agreed to join forces ahead of the 2024 general elections after finding common ground on key policies.
The parties will not entertain working or co-governing with the Economic Freedom Fighters or the ANC.
