The ANC is expected to release the names of the newly-constituted NEC by early Thursday morning after it was discovered that Tina Joemmat-Petterssen’s name was omitted from at least 700 ballot papers (according to unconfirmed reports).
– The Electoral Commission stipulated very clearly that at least 50% of NEC members need to be female—this was the minimum.
– According to the Electoral Commission, a total of 4075 delegates would be voting for the NEC. Nominations were opened from the floor on Tuesday evening and only one name managed to successfully get onto the ballot.
– The Electoral Commission said a total of 295 nominees came through the process of provincial consolidation.
– Of the 182 ‘accepted’ nominees, 88 were female and 95 were male.
– However, the Electoral Commission—by Wednesday evening—issued a statement with a consolidated list of the 230 nominees for the 80-member NEC;
– Of the 230, 117 are men (50.86%) and 113 are female (49.13%);
– The NEC was increased from 60 members to 80 members in 2007 after a resolution at National Conference. At the party’s 2012 Policy Conference, it was proposed that this number revert back to 60 members. This was however rejected at National Conference; the NEC will still comprise of 80 members (plus the top six officials).
– Former ANC presidents automatically become part of the NEC in an ex-officio capacity. Examples include Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki.
– Those who contested the top six positions unsuccessfully automatically fall into the NEC…Kgalema Motlanthe (declined), Tokyo Sexwale and Matthews Phosa, Thandi Modise (declined), Fikile Mbalula, Paul Mashatile.
– UDM leader and former ANC heavyweight Bantu Holomisa was placed first in 1994; Cyril Ramaphosa in 1997; Trevor Manuel in 2002 and in 2007, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela topped the NEC elections.
