The Newly Elected DA Eastern Cape Leadership – #DAEC2020Congress

By

The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Eastern Cape made history yesterday by successfully concluding South Africa’s first-ever virtual political congress.

DA EC Provincial Leader, Nqaba Bhanga, and DA EC Provincial Chairperson, Andrew Whitfield, were elected unopposed for another three year term.

The decision by our members to re-elect the incumbent Provincial Leader and Provincial Chairperson is not only an endorsement of their leadership, but also a confirmation that the party is on solid ground and in good hands in the Eastern Cape.

Delegates did, however, vote to elect two Deputy Provincial Leaders and three Deputy Provincial Chairpersons.

The vote and the vote count proceeded without a single query, objection or contest, and that is testament to the DA’s commitment to free and fair elections.

The DA thanks the outgoing leadership for their sterling work and dedication to the party.

The full complement of newly-elected DA Eastern Cape leadership is:

  • Provincial Leader: Nqaba Bhanga
  • 2 Deputy Provincial Leaders: Chantel King, Bobby Stevenson
  • Provincial Chairperson: Andrew Whitfield
  • 3 Deputy Provincial Chairpersons: Yusuf Cassim, Vicky Knoetze, Wonga Potwana

“We congratulate the successful candidates and wish them well in their mission to bring about positive change and to grow the DA in the Eastern Cape,” says Desiree van der Walt, MP, Presiding Officer of the DA Eastern Cape Congress.
