The new Western Cape provincial leader said the closest the party ever got to 60% of the vote was under Helen Zille’s leadership as Premier, but he believes the DA might even surpass that number this time around.
John Steenhuisen warned congress delegates on Saturday that the Western Cape was the last province where there was anything left to steal, stressing that the DA needed to maintain its position against an ANC-EFF coalition.
If endorsements are anything to go by, it will be a clean sweep for Dean Macpherson, who is seeking a second term as the DA KwaZulu-Natal chairperson. He's up against one of DA's long-serving members, Dianne Kohler Barnard.
