Western Cape’s Madikizela withdraws from DA leadership race

The DA’s Western Cape leader Bonginkosi Madikizela, has withdrawn from the leadership race to take over the reins of the party.

Madikizela initially threw his name in the hat to take over from Maimane, but Desiree van der Walt, presiding officer of the party’s federal council election, said he withdrew his candidacy last week. The election of an interim leader and an interim federal chair, which was necessitated by Athol Trollip resignation, will take place before the DA is expected to have an early congress.

“They believe, rightfully so, that my attention will be divided with only few months in office,” he said.
