The DA’s caucus leader in Johannesburg, Belinda Kayser-Echeozonjoku, has confirmed that she will contest the position of federal deputy chairperson at the party’s upcoming federal congress in April. What about the caucus position? Kayser-Echeozonjoku said that if she does get the position she is aiming for at congress, she will remain the party’s caucus leader in Johannesburg until the next local government elections. “As the current caucus leader in Johannesburg, the economic hub of our country, I inherited a caucus that had become fragmented following the departure of two former leaders. “When structures are supported, and leaders are accessible, we avoid disgruntlement and ensure that we all stay in the DA tent.
