The Congress of the People’s national committee has decided that president Mosiuoa Lekota will take over the leadership of the party's parliamentary delegation.

Spokesperson Phillip Dexter says the meeting also voted to remove Cope deputy president Mbhazima Shilowa as parliamentary chief whip and Lolo Mashiane as the party's representative in Parliament.

But Shilowa ally Sipho Ngwema says the meeting was illegitimate because it had not been called by general secretary Charlotte Lobe.
