Blessed Gwala moves from being the chief whip of the official opposition in the KZN Legislature to become the leader of the official opposition.
Hlabiba had occupied that position.
The IFP president dismissed claims of factions within the party.
He's also rubbished claims he was pushed to parliament, to make way for KZN chairperson Thami Ntuli to take up the premier candidacy.
"The IFP has never meant to discuss who will be a Premier candidate in 2024 or who will be in the list of members of provincial legislatures and the National Assembly."
