It’s Zuma vs Ramaphosa in the voting stakes, and here’s who the ANC prefers. By PalesaDlamini_0
Will former President Jacob Zuma strengthen the ruling party’s bid for another term in office or prove to be the ANC’s Achilles’ heel?
Interestingly, in the same month, the pair appeared on several public panels in the week leading to the ruling party’s manifesto launch in what was called a “bromance”.The survey also revealed that Ramaphosa surpassed Zuma in terms of preference across the provinces, except for KwaZulu-Natal, where 51% of ANC supporters in that province [believed to have the fiercest backers of the former president] still preferred Zuma over Ramaphosa, where the latter received 23%.
Based on the results of the survey, Zuma still enjoys support from a number of ANC supporters. Will this be to the detriment of the ANC in the upcoming elections?“The ANC national executive committee is fully behind President Cyril Ramaphosa. Differing in debates does not amount to being factional,” he said.
“There is nothing negative about any former leader of the ANC participating and supporting the ANC. In fact the ANC wishes all its former leaders to come on board and help the ANC,” he said.During the announcement of the ANC’s “national list” by secretary-general of the party, Ace Magashule, on Wednesday, he revealed that Zuma had declined being nominated.
