ANC to hold special national executive committee meeting, writes Genevieve Quintal
The ANC on Monday will first hold a national working committee meeting which will be followed by the special NEC.
The special NEC is expected, among other things, to discuss and come to a decision on who will be their premiers in the eight provinces. The party’s provincial executive committees will submit three names of possible premiers for each province to the NEC. It will then be up to the executive committee to come to a consensus on one name.The ANC will also have to look at its candidate lists for the National Assembly, following the integrity commission report.The party came under heavy criticism for its lists which included those implicated in allegations of state capture, corruption and lying under oath.
The DA’s federal executive will also be meeting on Monday, where the official opposition party will have to do some introspection on its electoral decline. It was expected that Mmusi Maimane’s leadership would be under attack by some at the meeting, but that he had enough support in the party’s federal executive.The IFP, which had a successful election, with growth in its support and it becoming the official opposition in KwaZulu-Natal, will brief the media on its performance on Monday.
