Almost all of the 54 permanent delegates to the NCOP were present to be sworn in by the Chief Justice.
CAPE TOWN - The National Council of Provinces has elected the only African National Congress Member of Parliament to return to the NCOP from the previous parliament, Kenny Mmoiemang as the Chief Whip of the house.
But the house has not elected a deputy chairperson, leaving the door open for a possible compromise nomination after the Democratic Alliance's Annelie Lotriet was elected as the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly on Friday as part of a governance deal between the ANC, DA and Inkatha Freedom Party .
Mmoiemang says every voice will be heard and persuasion should be the hallmark of their working style. Like in 2019, the house chose not to elect a deputy chairperson at this occasion and will likely do so when the house sits again to outline its programme of business.The NCOP will also have to elect two house chairpersons, making it possible for these posts to still be offered to government of unity partners.
