With the 2019 national elections over, the ANC and DA are holding internal meetings today to work out what went wrong — and right — as well as the way forward.
For the ruling party, the loss of 19 seats in the National Assembly will be a key agenda for its national executive committee . The party secured 230 seats, compared to 249 seats in the 2014 election.
The Democratic Alliance ’s federal executive, the highest decision-making body of the party, is also meeting today. The party lost five seats in the National Assembly, bringing its total number of seats down from 89 to 84. It also lost its role as official opposition in Mpumalanga to the Economic Freedom Fighters .
One of the most contentious topics that might be discussed is the fate of party leader Mmusi Maimane. Speaking on Radio 702, federal council chair James Selfe would not confirm whether or not Maimane would continue in his role. But, according to Seabe, this discussion will not be on today’s agenda. “The topic of leadership will not be on the table for now,” said Seabe. “The organisation is not led by an individual - Mmusi does not lead alone.
