Divisions within the Gqeberha-based political party, the Northern Alliance, continued to play out as party delegates elected new office bearers during its second elective conference.
Japie Jansen was elected as the new president of the Northern Alliance yesterday.
The conference took place without the party's current president and mayor of the Nelson Mandela Bay metro, Gary van Niekerk, who said the conference was organised by a parallel structure.
But the new office bearers say their election is above board as 14 of the party's 16 branches participated.
