17 May 2020
The Democratic Alliance's (DA) Elective Congress will be held, using a virtual platform, on 31 October 2020, despite the challenges posed by the Coronavirus pandemic, the party’s Federal Executive resolved at a special meeting on Saturday 16 May 2020.
This is in line with the mandate of the Party’s Federal Council to hold an Elective Congress this year.
To achieve this, Fedex resolved that the Chair of the Federal Council, Helen Zille, and the Chief Operations Officer, Liana van Wyk, would prepare a detailed proposal on plans for holding an elective Congress via an accessible, secure, digital platform, with systems in place to ensure that every delegate will be able to participate fully and fairly.
