Losing candidate should be deputy president: Zuma
ANC president, Jacob Zuma has endorsed the KZN ANC's suggestion that the losing presidential candidate should automatically become deputy president of the party.
Zuma was speaking during his closing address of the ANC Policy Conference in Johannesburg.
He says the party needs to revisit its constitution on how leaders are chosen and what happens to those who fall short of success.

"Let us not get rid of the one who did not win. Let us make the one who become number two, or who did not win, to be the deputy of the one who is leading. This will have the effect that both factions will come together and work together on the two leaders that were chosen to lead the organisation," he says.
The ANC will elect its next president at an elective conference in December.
