John Steenhuisen Re-Elected as Leader of Opposition Democratic Alliance: SouthAfrica
In what insiders call the biggest win ever recorded by a federal leader candidate, John Steenhuisen has won the DA leadership position and Dr Mpho Phalatse has accepted her loss, saying the party missed out on her ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Presiding officers declined to share the number of votes received by both candidates, but DA insiders toldthat Steenhuisen registered a convincing victory of 84%, a 4% increase from the previous congress., invoking comparisons with Zuma on Saturday, 1 April. Her speech failed to gain her more support from the DA delegates at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand."I am disappointed obviously, I raised my hand for a reason.
Phalatse said suggestions that her contesting for the federal leader position was her way of opening the door to leave the party are people's"crazy" imaginations.
