12 December 2017
Bloemfontein - Ace Magashule has been re-elected as the chairperson of the ANC in the Free State, extending his 23-year reign in the province.
Magashule, who is also Free State premier, received 209 nominations from delegates in attendance while his former deputy Thabo Manyoni only managed to get 25 nods.
Manyoni, who boycotted the provincial congress, declined his nomination over the phone.
"As the former secretary of the PEC I only received comrade Manyoni’s apology through the media," said re-elected secretary William Bulwane.
