COMMENT | The crowd goes wild with loud applause as Helen Zille is announced the chairperson of the federal council uncontested.
Zille is hugely popular among delegates and she is credited for keeping the party together.

The plenary erupts into a resounding round of applause and chants of “John, John, John,” as John Steenhuisen is announcing as DA leader giving him a second term at the helm of the official opposition party.
From the reception, it appears to have been an emphatic victory for Steenhuisen who defeated former Johannesburg mayor Mpho Phalatse to retains DA federal leader position.

COMMENT | There's alot of celebration after DA MP and spokesperson Solly Malatsi is elected second deputy federal chairperson.
This is seen as a win for the youth in the party as well as a win for black leaders.

Another white woke idiot. Pay no attention to such people. They are still bleak Mmusi was kicked out. Still crying from 2019!
Literally his analysis is because they are white, that = bad.
I forgot how all black people were convinced to vote DA back then just because Mmusi was also black.
 
Johnno announces the creation of a new UDF!!!!!!
Comprised of opp parties, civil society and so on. Basically a pre-election pact. THIS IS BIG.
"In my capacity as leader, not only of the DA but of the opposition alternative in this country, our party will immediately initiate a process to form a pre-election Moonshot Pact with likeminded political parties, civil society organisations and civic movements to defeat the ANC, to keep the EFF out, and to inaugurate a new national opposition coalition government."

- Jan Gerber
"This invitation is broad and generously open to the leaders of all civil society bodies and opposition parties that are, as a matter of principle, opposed to the ANC and the EFF.
"But it excludes all parties and organisations who’ve tethered themselves to the ANC."
- Jan Gerber
"The purpose of this Pact will be to forge coordination and unity of purpose between all organisations that want to defeat the ANC and keep the EFF out. To achieve the Moonshot, we need a whole-of-society approach that builds a new ecosystem of change.
"The Pact’s purpose will also be to sit around the table to agree on rules of engagement that will enable different organisations to retain their own identities while bringing an end to the petty squabbles and division that only benefits the ANC."
- Jan Gerber
Here is the exact quote.

A New CODESA is inbound.

Steenhuisen: "Or, we, along with civil society leaders and concerned patriots who don’t wish to walk one more miserable inch on the road to ruin charted by the ANC, can choose another path.
"Let us meet soon at a National Convention for the Moonshot Pact at a time and place where all historic enmity is left outside the door of the venue."
