United for change leadership.
The Unite for Change Party says it will not have one leader but rather a council of leaders.
The new political party, which is a merger between Build One South Africa (BOSA), the Good Party and Rise Mzansi, were launched on Sunday in Johannesburg.
Unite for Change will contest next year’s local government elections.
Leadership Council Member Patricia de Lille says, “Because in this journey, it is very important that you must take your membership, your supporters together with it. On the issue of who is the leader of the party, we have agreed that we are going to have a council of leaders so that that doesn’t become an issue who must lead. But I think we further agreed that to have an elective conference towards the end of 2027 or 2028.”
