The official opposition is currently holding its Nation Federal Congress at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand.She says over the past few years, the party lost over a million votes.

“Between the 2016 and 2021 Local Government Elections, our party lost more than 1.4 million votes. A total of 285 of our councillors lost their positions as elected public representatives in communities,” adds Phalatse.“[It] is not because our brand is inferior, but it is because of a trust deficit that exists between us and the electorate. This is what stands between us and our chances of becoming a national government,” adds Phalatse.

“I want to state categorically here without any fear of contradiction, it is not the length of time in a party that determines one’s effectiveness, it is not the number of years that counts, it is about capability, experience and qualifications.”
