The DA’s every step will be closely watched

Steenhuisen, as expected, beat out the Gauteng provincial legislature’s Makashule Gana.

The Democratic Alliance showed their hand yesterday when, as expected, they elected John Steenhuisen the party’s interim leader, and Ivan Meyer the interim federal chairperson. Steenhuisen beat out the Gauteng provincial legislature’s Makashule Gana to the party’s top job after 160 DA members voted for him. Both Steenhuisen and Meyer will hold these positions until the party’s early congress next year.

Both Steenhuisen and Meyer will hold these positions until the party’s early congress next year. “The DA is not in a fight over ideology or a fight for power. Our fight is to push back against the tide of poverty that has engulfed the lives of so many men, women and children in our country. Our fight is for the prosperity and the dignity of millions of South Africans who are still waiting for their freedom,” said Steenhuisen.
