Eastern Cape ANC leader Oscar Mabuyane has been re-elected for a second term, brushing off his rival Babalo Madikizela.
Mabuyane and most of the party leaders on his slate managed to take over political control in the province, in what was a shambolic elective conference marred by disruptions, as 477 ballots were counted.
Mabuyane received 812 votes, and Madikizela 662.
It was a clean sweep for the rest of Mabuyane’s slate.
During voting on Monday, a delegate from the OR Tambo region was caught taking a photo of his ballot paper. It however had little impact on the outcome.
