Western Cape ANC provincial secretary, Marius Fransman has declined a nomination to the party's national executive committee.
He says while it is an "immense honour" to serve on the NEC, he declined in order to "fully focus on dislodging" the Democratic Alliance from power in the Western Cape in the 2014 elections.
He says it is in the best strategic interest of the ANC in the Western Cape that he remains fully committed to intensifying the party's programme in the province, which includes unifying and rebuilding the movement.
Fransman says the ANC in the Western Cape will be well represented by other nominated individuals.
