Former DA leader Helen Zille has won the race to be the DA’s new federal council chairperson, completing a dramatic comeback within the party she once led.
After a highly-anticipated internal campaign, Zille won out after 155 party delegates voted for their preferred candidate at a federal council meeting at DA headquarters in Bruma, Johannesburg this weekend.
