Newly-elected ANC Nelson Mandela Bay chairperson Andile Lungisa has been given an ultimatum; resign or face disciplinary action.
The Eastern Cape Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) served Lungisa with a letter on Tuesday, ordering him to step down by Thursday.
Lungisa was elected as regional chairperson two weeks ago despite being warned not to stand because of the post he holds in the PEC.
Provincial secretary Oscar Mabuyane said that Lungisa raised his own concerns, purely from a Constitutional point of view, at a meeting they held with him on Monday.
He said that the ANC's national executive committee will meet this weekend at which Lungisa's appointment will likely be discussed.
Lungisa, who appears to have the backing of President Jacob Zuma said previously it was only the ANC's NEC that could remove him from the regional position.
