DA Gauteng Election Results

14 November 2020

We are delighted to announce the results of the leadership elections which took place at the Democratic Alliance (DA) Gauteng Virtual Provincial Congress 2020 today.

The new leadership team has received a huge mandate to take the party forward and will seek to regain lost ground and go beyond by unseating the African National Congress in Gauteng.

Voting took place using the online OpaVote platform and this system worked well. The election results were compliant with all DA election requirements and rules. They were signed off by us, as presiding officers, as well as the candidates' party agents who oversaw the voting process.

All individuals who observed voting consider the elections free and fair.

This congress was the largest virtual and participatory congress in Gauteng.

We thank all delegates for their participation and their compliance with the rules of our internal democracy, which remains healthy, strong and vibrant.

The results of the elections are:

Provincial Leader

Solly Msimanga (75% )

Provincial Chairperson

Fred Nel ( 67%)

Deputy Provincial Chairperson

Bongani Nkomo

We extend our congratulations to all elected candidates as we enter an exciting new chapter of Achieving Real Growth in Gauteng.
