Voting delegates at the contentious Eastern Cape nomination conference are accusing the ANC provincial leadership of rigging nominations to ensure that President Jacob Zuma is re-elected for the second term.

The provincial nomination conference collapsed last night due to major disputes about nomination processes in branches.

Dullar Omar, the biggest branch, has endorsed Motlanthe.

Gauteng, delegates nominated Motlanthe for the presidency and retained Mantashe for secretary general, while Paul Mashatile got the nod for the treasurer post.
