The Congress of the People has admitted that the appointment of Mvume Dandala as the party's presidential candidate during its campaign was a mistake.

A leading newspaper reported spokesperson MP Philip Dexter as saying some of the things that could have been handled better were the BEE debate and the leadership issues.

He says the bringing in of Dandala was not a good idea, but they had to do it but because the majority wanted him to be the leader.

Dexter said the party did not have sufficient time to introduce a new leader in the short time before the elections.
