A new leader. Which shall carry this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up why are migrants opting for an old land route to enter greece even though it is just as dangerous as the see. The new symbol of palestinian anger the activists who lost his legs in a previous israeli air strike has now been shot in the head and killed. And anger in the streets of honduras its been three weeks and still no winner announced in the president ial election. The watershed meeting to elect a new leader for south africas ruling party the African National congress is due to start in an hour after being delayed due to legal challenges whoever is chosen to succeed jacob zuma who is tainted by corruption allegations will lead the a. N. C. Into the next president ial election thats in two thousand and nineteen the party is deeply divided over who should be better campaigners threaten to split the movement because on a zoom is South African president s preferred candidate she has campaigned hard against racial inequality and for and proving in the ass the prospects rather of the black majority the other main contender is Cyril Ramaphosa supporters say his business background makes him the best option to turn around south africas struggling economy page because life for us in johannesburg so tony these legal challenges that have been going on this morning tell us what they are. She will this is really come off the back of course rulings three of them which were delivered by various courts around the country on friday and theyre just three of the examples there have been other Court Processes and basically what those Court Rulings found was that some of the results from some of the Branch Meetings of the a. N. C. Which is the grassroots meetings its in those branches that b. And c. Local members they choose who their delegates will be who they want their delegates to support is the president and all the other top positions here so those results would nullify by the courts so its as a result of that those Court Rulings that the emergency meeting was called of the National Executive committee which is the top one hundred leaders of the a. N. C. Was cool this morning and they have decided that they will not allow those particular Branch Delegates to come here and vote and that potentially could have an impact on the candidate on the race for presidency because those ponchos were believed to have been in support of increases on a resume and there are about one hundred thirty one hundred forty delegates affected so if its a really tight race it could be the difference for her between winning and losing so trying to going into the president ial election once the a. N. C. Gets this all sorted out are there concerns about how damaged they may be. Well thats one of the things being discussed here this idea of organizational renewal the a. N. C. Some parts of it a very conscious that it does have a problem it slipped almost ten percent in the last election which was the local Government Election and it lost control for the face time at that election of three and. A huge shocker for the. Really a message from the voters that theyre really not happy particularly in the metro areas with the direction that the party is going it was seen at the time as being something of a referral on the leadership of president zuma so i dont see renewal is a big focus here and weve heard the secretary general talking about the need for the party to take a look at itself a hard look at itself and to unify whether it will be able to do that behind a particular candidate i think is far from clear because as youve said they have these legal challenges and Division Within the party and although there is talk of unity weve already heard some of the delegates and groups of several hundred marching and chanting and singing their support for any for a particular candidate.

Are all gandhi has taken over from his father son yes president of indias Main Opposition Party the Congress Party lost popularity over the past three years since defeat and the general election by the. Recently start talk of a political revival with an aggressive Regional Election campaign and the home state of Prime Minister intervention voting because pollen has more from there on make on the political dynasty. You could say politics isnt as blood is great grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru was indias first Prime Minister its grandmother in their gandhi was indias first and only female Prime Minister and when she was assassinated in one thousand nine hundred four his father rajiv gandhi became the countrys youngest ever leader now raul gandhi is hoping to follow in their footsteps by first succeeding his mother sagna as president of the Congress Party i think the choice of the party is. Coming out of his sort of. Because within the Congress Party itself. Many leaders who we accepted by all sections within the party so the whole was the only person around the entire party as early but raul gone these dynastic journey into politics has been on the easy one and he was general secretary of the Congress Party ten years ago and the pushed for revamp and more transparency. But it was often hard to pin down his political leanings he was accused of flitting from cost to costs and seemed reluctant to take responsibility when asked to join the government analysts say he was always in his mothers shadow and his efforts in authority were never truly recognized four years ago raul gandhi became Vice President of the party and chief campaigner for the general election but poor results and did ten years of Congress Rule the Congress Party suffered a humiliating defeat to the b j p led by now Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Gandhi was no longer perceived era parents and instead often ridiculed for political mistakes or gaffes in his speeches but his popularity has been revived over the past few months. The media glare capturing a savvy politician connecting with voters regardless of background cost or class campaigning for the state election and good. An Election Campaign said to be his coming of age as a politician raul gandhi has become the public face of the Congress Party in the battle for control of good government. If his party can wrestle power from the ruling by theo john to party in the home states of Prime Minister Narendra Modi few would doubt gandhi is worthy of wearing the crown of the Congress Party many say its fitting that are all gandhis first big test as Congress Leader isnt good its grandfather was from here and the truck was a congress governed state with his father rajiv gandhi and his grandmother and there are gandhi or Prime Ministers of india.
