ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashtile gained sufficient ground to lead the race for deputy president, with Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola receiving the second-highest number of nominations.
The ANC’s Electoral Committee chair Kgalema Motlanthe announced the outcomes of the nominations for the party’s top six positions on Tuesday afternoon at Luthuli House. Motlanthe said all of the nominees had been thoroughly vetted as per the Electoral Committee rules.
Former ANC KwaZulu- Natal secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli, National Executive Committee member Phumulo Masualle and ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula are all up for the secretary general position. A screening, vetting, appeals and objections process is still pending, with 29 November being the final deadline for the completion of successful nominations.
