The ANC in Johannesburg was unanimous in its decision to put forward its regional chairperson, Dada Morero, as its mayoral candidate to replace Kabelo Gwamanda when the city council meets on Friday.
This will be Moreros second stint as mayor after his election was disputed and he was summarily removed through a court motion last year.
The decision comes after a meeting on Monday by the partys regional executive committee (REC).
The partys regional secretary, Sasabona Manganye, on Tuesday confirmed that Morero would be their candidate on Friday.
We are reconstituting the government of local unity to bring a new executive mayor with the experience and the technical knowhow to build on our successes, address our challenges and work tirelessly to make Johannesburg a city that offers opportunities, growth and prosperity for all residents, said Manganye.
