The decision to join the African National Congress (ANC) has ensured that New National Party (NNP) supporters have moved into a position of political influence, the party said on Friday.
Speaking after the NNP’s Federal Council met in Cape Town, secretary-general Daryl Swanepoel said the decision had ensured that the party’s supporters were not isolated from political decision-making processes.
”The NNP commits itself to reconciliation and nation-building in South Africa,” he said.
He said the Federal Council endorsed the party’s efforts to represent the Party’s supporters in the decision-making processes of the country.
The council has also asked the party executive to investigate possible strategies for the party’s participation in next year’s general election. ‒ Sapa
