Preparations are well under way for the opening of the provincial legislature on Friday.
The secretary of the North West Provincial Legislature, Innocent Netshitumbu says preparations are well under way for the opening of the provincial legislature on Friday. The African National Congress obtained over 53% of the support in the recent elections, which makes it the majority party in the provincial legislature.
Following the national and provincial elections last month, the ANC has 23 seats, the EFF seven, the DA five, the Freedom Front Plus one, and new kids on the block the MK Party and ActionSA one seat each. The legislature’s sitting will run concurrently with the first sitting of the National Assembly.
Netshitumbu says, the Judge President of the North West High Court, Ronald Hendricks, will swear in members of the provincial legislature.
