DA Western Cape elects provincial Leadership
07 May 2022
At the DA’s Western Cape Provincial Council on Saturday, 7 May 2022, DA delegates from across the province have elected an Interim Provincial Leader and Interim Provincial Deputy Leader.
Tertuis Simmers, also the Western Cape Minister for Infrastructure, stood unopposed for the position of Interim Provincial Leader, and Jean-Pierre (JP) Smith was elected as Interim Deputy Provincial Leader, earlier today.
Also competing on the Deputy Leader ballot was Megann Goedeman, Wendy Philander and Antionette Steyn. We would like to thank them for taking part in what is fundamental to our democratic processes and we appreciate that you campaigned fairly and in good spirit.
The DA in the Western Cape has a proven track record of better service delivery and the announcement made earlier this week, that members of the Patriotic Alliance moved over to the DA, is testament to the trust people have in the way we govern.
