ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has announced that Mxolisi Dukwana is the party's preferred premier candidate for the Free State.There is no clarity as to when the vote for the next premier will take place despite the Free State's State of the Province Address being scheduled for next week.
In the letter to Motsoeneng, Mbalula said all three candidates – Dukwana, deputy provincial chairperson Ketso Makume, and deputy secretary Dibolelo Mahlatsi – were of a high calibre and had the potential to play meaningful roles in several spheres of government. He added that national ANC officials were confident that Dukwana was most suited for the position.
Despite numerous attempts, News24 was unable to get confirmation from the Free State legislature spokesperson about when the vote for the next premier would take place. This is despite the province's State of the Province Address being scheduled for next week. "Since the former premier was elected to office in 2018, conditions in the Free State have continued to regress, and residents of the province continue to bear the impact of poor ANC leadership," said DA provincial leader Roy Jankielsohn.
