The race for the Mpumalanga ANC chairperson position is between two men.
The outcome of the province's elective conference will play a pivotal role in helping decide whether Cyril Ramaphosa will be able to retain his leadership position in the party in December.Mpumalanga last held a conference in 2015, and efforts to hold it in 2019 failed. There were concerns over violence that marred general branch meetings.
However, fierce lobbying was evident on the sidelines as those leading delegations counted the numbers.Ndlovu is said to be a strong backer of Ramaphosa, and endorsed him on a visit to the province in February.
