WITH no nominations from the floor last night for an additional presidential candidate, the race for leader of the ANC remains a two-horse race between President Thabo Mbeki and his deputy Jacob Zuma.
Mbete, who was earlier nominated for the post of deputy secretary-general, declined this post in favour of national chair and the candidate nominated for deputy secretary-general was Thandi Modise. Her name has been bandied around for a while and City Press last week reported that she was the new candidate of choice. She will stand against Thoko Didiza.
