IFP's Buthelezi heading back to Parliament, but not as leader of the party | kaveels
Riding the wave of its gains in the 2019 general elections, the IFP says while long-time president, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, will return to Parliament, he will not stand for leadership at the party's next elective conference.
"The IFP is a democratic party with a constitution and the rules of procedure. Our leaders are elected by the rank and file of our members through their delegated representatives at a national conference."'I'd rather be a small party than a party that uses poor people's money' - IFP's Buthelezi "If he had it his way, he would have stepped down. But at the behest of branches, he has stayed on. Other rumours are the imagination of people who do not have our best interests at heart," Hlengwa said.
He said the party had done well because of their slogan:"Trust us", and added that the party would look for a major victory in the 2021 local government elections.
