Pretoria - Unless a political turnaround happens in the next few days, MMC for Economic Development and Spatial Planning Randall Williams is in pole position to be the next executive mayor of the City of Tshwane. Council is set to continue the January 30 sitting next Wednesday and hold an ordinary meeting the following day and the election of the new first citizen is expected to be on the agenda.
The DA yesterday announced Williams as its candidate for the position. In announcing his candidacy, the DA said Williams was a long-serving councillor, who in addition to being MMC, was chairperson of the Municipal Appeals Tribunal between 2016 and 2019. “The DA believes Williams is an excellent mayoral candidate who stands ready to continue the DA-led coalition programme of progress and delivery for all. We congratulate Williams on his election as a mayoral candidate, and trust that he will serve the people of Tshwane well as executive mayor and we commit our support to him unconditionally in the pursuit of creating one South Africa for all,” the party said.
If elected by council, Williams will succeed Stevens Mokgalapa and become the third mayor of the current local government term since the DA-led coalition government came to power in 2016.
