Battered Western Cape DA to elect interim deputy leader as Patriotic Alliance threatens to quit coalition

Next weekend, the DA in the Western Cape will elect a new interim deputy leader after a rough period for the party.

www.dailymaverick.co.za

The voting for a new interim deputy leader will take place on Saturday 7 May during a provincial council meeting. The meeting will be held at the City of Cape Town council chambers, the party’s provincial chairperson Jaco Londt confirmed this week.

At the provincial council meeting, aside from the voting of the deputy leader, the party’s representatives will hear feedback from its youth structures and student organisation as well as feedback from the latest by-election in Ward 2, Witzenberg, upcoming by-elections

The interim leader and his deputy will remain in their positions until the DA goes to congress again in 2023.

Seems like the King of DA Tournament is next year? Could be wrong?

WTF is this fool doing in the Ukraine?

On a fact-finding tour. Giving support to and hearing out the locals.

Probably also trolling the "neutral" ANC as a bonus.
