The Democratic Alliance (DA) has moved its Eastern Cape elective congress amid tense contestation for leadership positions.The party’s members were to choose a new provincial leader to replace Athol Trollip in March but it has been rescheduled until May.
It’s understood that the nominations for key leadership positions have been made but the party will not release them as yet.
It’s believed that current provincial chairperson Veliswa Mvenya, looking to be the first woman to lead the DA in the Eastern Cape, is one of the front-runners.
DA federal executive chairperson James Selfe says the vast distances in the province has delayed the branch audits.
“We are not in a situation where a majority of branches have formed and have elected their delegates to the congress but there are a number of branches where a process called conjoining needed to happen where there were less than required minimum to form a branch.”
