Great honour, privilege to have been sworn in as WC Premier - Winde
CAPE TOWN - Alan Winde said it was a great honour and privilege to have been sworn in as Premier of the Western Cape on Wednesday by Judge President John Hlophe.
He was elected through a secret ballot during the swearing-in of the provincial Parliament members at the provincial Legislature after he went up against the ANC leader in the Western Cape legislature Cameron Dugmore who received 10 votes against his 24. There were six spoiled votes. “That means we have a lot of work to do, and it is time to get to work. Tomorrow [Tuesday], I will be announcing the cabinet team that will undertake this journey with me, but I also hope to work in a constructive manner with the opposition in the Western Cape, to ensure we do justice to our role as members of the provincial legislature representing the people of the province,” he said.
