Julius Malema retains his party as leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters.
The party also elected its top six leaders at an emotionally charged elective congress in Bloemfontein this weekend.
The more than 2-thousand-600 delegates cheered and ululated, as the top six were nominated unopposed.
However, there was some tension when national co-ordinator Mpho Ramakatsa challenged Godrich Gardee for the post of secretary-general.
Sapa also reports that emotions ran high towards the end of the nomination period when delegates wanted to leave the hall before a decision regarding the treasurer was reached.
The EFF conference continues today when more members will be elected for the remaining leadership positions.
