Electricity energy minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa is preparing to challenge for a top leadership slot in the ANC, according to people familiar with the matter.
Ramokgopa, who also sits on the ANCs national executive committee NEC, is said to be exploring a joint bid for either party president or deputy president, potentially alongside National Assembly speaker Thoko Didiza.
The move is timed ahead of the partys 2027 elective conference when President Cyril Ramaphosa concludes his second term as head of the party.
