Durban - Results of the KwaZulu-Natal ANC nomination conference in Durban have yet to be released.

"We are still counting and we are not sure what time we will be able to finish... We will release an official statement once everything is finalised," said provincial spokesperson Senzo Mkhize at 21:00.

Journalists were advised to leave the Olive Convention Centre where the vote-counting was taking place.

The KwaZulu-Natal province is the biggest province of the ANC, boasting over 820 branches. This meant that the province would send the biggest number of delegates to the African National Congress' elective conference in Mangaung.

On Saturday, KwaZulu-Natal Premier and provincial executive committee chair, Zweli Mkhize told delegates that the province was backing President Jacob Zuma to get a second term.

He urged those going to Mangaung for the party's national elective conference to note that there were other matters to address such as uniting the party and finding solutions to problems they were facing.
