Ramaphosa wins big with his four allies in top seven
This includes Gwede Mantashe, who retained his national chairperson position, despite a very close contest with Stan Mathabatha. Mantashe won by less than 50 votes. Mantashe garnered 2062 while Mathabatha received 2018 votes.Another key ally of the president, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula, was elected as secretary-general. This was a surprise result because Ndumiseni Ntuli had the most nominations leading up to the conference.
Asked whether he was confident about his election to the NEC, he said it was in the hands of delegates. "Our programme and agenda have been affirmed by this conference because our main objective was to ensure that Cyril Ramaphosa was retained as the president of the ANC because he had been the champion of renewal and the torchbearer of unity in the ANC."
"We are the only province that has been winning by-elections so that tells you that we have a strong election machinery of the ANC."
