All Candidates are eligible to run for DA Federal Council Chairperson
7 October 2019
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has taken note of incorrect reports, which state that the Party is seeking a legal opinion on the eligibility of one of the candidates standing for the position of Federal Council Chairperson.
We wish to dismiss this notion.
As the Presiding Officer, I am satisfied that all those who have been nominated have been fully vetted and meet the criteria to stand as candidate of Chairperson of Federal Council.
In this light, we wish to remind all the candidates and their campaign teams of the rules of engagement, which preclude candidates from negative campaigning.
