1 hr agoThe Democratic Alliance’s 2026 Federal Congress represents one of the most significant turning points in the party’s recent history, as senior delegates gather to decide who will lead the organisation into the next electoral cycle. Taking place over two days, the congress brings together more than 2,000 delegates, making it the largest internal gathering in the party’s history.
At the centre of attention is the contest for federal leader, with Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis facing Sedibeng councillor Sibusiso Dyonase in a closely watched leadership race. The outcome will determine not only the party’s internal direction but also its strategy heading into upcoming municipal elections.
Alongside the leadership race, delegates are also voting for the federal chairperson and several deputy chairpersons, positions that shape the party’s governance and organisational structure.
Outgoing leader John Steenhuisen’s decision not to seek re-election has opened space for renewal and internal debate. Party officials have emphasised unity, growth, and institutional stability, describing the congress as a reflection of the DA’s expanding membership and political maturity.
As proceedings continue, the outcome is expected to reshape the DA’s leadership hierarchy and influence South Africa’s broader political landscape.
