Lihle Chalo has been elected as the new provincial chairperson of the ANC Youth League in the Eastern Cape.
Following a delayed start to the province’s elective conference, which was scheduled to kick off with registration on Friday, the league finally elected its office bearers on Sunday morning.
As the Daily Dispatch reported on Saturday, Chalo was elected as part of a “unitary slate” agreed upon ahead of the conference.
His deputy is Nkcubeko Madlalisa, and Luzuko Lugalo was elected as secretary.
Yandisa Jubase was elected as first deputy secretary, with Khonaye Tilongo as second deputy secretary. Angeziwe Myeki was elected as treasurer.
Additional members of the provincial executive committee are yet to be elected.
The much-anticipated conference was initially marred by delays due to registration issues.
It finally kicked off in the early hours of Sunday.
Youth League president Collen Malatji is expected to deliver the closing address on Sunday afternoon.
