Former North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo has pulled out of the competition for the hotly contested position of provincial chairperson of the North West ANC at the 9th elective conference currently under way in Rustenburg.

Speaking to Daily Maverick on the sidelines of the conference on Sunday 14 August Mahumapelo, a known member of the Radical Economic Transformation faction, revealed that some branches had asked him to stand as a candidate while other branches had asked him not to run as they wanted to nominate him for a position in the party’s national executive committee .

“If you stand here and stand again for national, you appear like a person who is after positions. So one has to think carefully about some of these things because how you come across in society as a leader is very key, so I thought carefully about it,” he said. In his application, Mahumapelo argued that members of the interim provincial committee were not nominated by their respective branches to attend the conference as either voting or non-voting delegates and as a result, their presence at the conference was a violation of the party constitution.
