HELEN ZILLE TO STEP DOWN AS DA FEDERAL CHAIRPERSON

DA Federal chairperson announced she will step down as chairperson of the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) Federal Council at the party’s Congress in April.

Zille explained that balancing her campaign in Johannesburg with the responsibilities of Federal Council chairperson was too demanding, saying she didn’t want to juggle “three jobs.”

The DA won Johannesburg’s Ward 102 by a landslide, with Bea Campbell-Cloete elected as the new ward councillor after securing over 94% of the votes.

Zille highlighted that the DA’s support in Ward 102 rose by 30 percentage points, calling it a “big win” and evidence of growing trust in the DA’s ability to turn the city around.

She remains committed to her campaign in Johannesburg and expressed gratitude to voters, emphasizing the importance of participation for democracy.
