President Cyril Ramaphposa has been re-elected as ANC president at the party’s 55th National Conference in Nasrec.
The new deputy ANC president is Paul Mashatile.
Ramaphosa, who was up for re-election, was elected as president in 2017 when he trumped former president Jacob Zuma. His chief rival at this weekend's conference was former health minister and KZN premier Zweli Mkhize. TimesLIVE reported that Mkhize mounted a vicious campaign to challenge the incumbent Ramaphosa despite the former KwaZulu-Natal premier having been endorsed by a single province against Ramaphosa’s eight.
As the conference proceeded Mkhize managed to turn previously staunch Ramaphosa provinces to his side.
