ANC top six to try and resolve EC impasse


The top six leadership of the ANC, including President Jacob Zuma, is expected to meet in East London next Monday.

According to the ANC's newly elected Eastern Cape Provincial Secretary, Lulama Ngcukaithobi, they will try and unify the party's provincial structures ahead of the ANC's national elective conference in December.

A group of disgruntled ANC members had lodged a protests with the mother body, challenging the outcome of the recent provincial elective conference which saw Phumulo Masualle toppled as provincial chairperson.

The conference at the East London International Convention Centre descended into chaos when Masualle supporters refused to accept the outcome of the leadership election which handed the position of provincial chairperson to Lubabalo Oscar Mabuyane.

Ngcukaithobi told Algoa FM News that the new provincial executive will be part of the meeting with the top six.

"We are looking forward to it with enthusiasm.  The Official come as the core of the leadership of the organisation.  We should be enthusiastic about it", he said.


Ngcukaitobi also highlighted that the ANC in the Eastern Cape had agreed to endorse the candidacy of Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa to stand as the party's next President.


He added that this is owed to their provincial conference's resolution.  

"That is owed to two fundamental issues, its tradition and historical pattern of electing the leadership of the organisation. It's about the stabilisation of the organisation so that we do not have a proliferation of people that want to be elected out of nowhere."
