Congress of the People president Mosiuoa Lekota has won a court interdict to stop the party’s conference in Centurion from electing a new leadership.

Lekota approached the South Gauteng High Court this afternoon while delegates had nominated his deputy Mbhazima Shilowa as the new leader.

The elective conference was yesterday converted into a policy conference after Lekota’s supporters protested about the process that had been followed.

But delegates this morning decided to go ahead with the election process, leading to Lekota pulling out. Cope’s election process has now been halted for four months.
