The ACDP ushers in a new voice in Parliament

The ACDP ushers in a new voice in Parliament

Date: 2013-08-09
The President of the ACDP and long standing Member of Parliament, Dr Kenneth Meshoe has officially resigned from his seat in Parliament after having served the ACDP with excellence as a MP since the country's inception of democracy in 1994. Though he has stepped down from Parliament he will continue to lead the ACDP as the Party's president.

His seat in Parliament has been suitably replaced by the ACDP's Deputy President, Councillor Wayne Thring who has been with the party for 13 years in the EThekwini Metro serving as the caucus leader in Council and currently also as the Provincial leader of the party in KwaZulu-Natal. He is a man of integrity, wisdom and balance and the Party is confident that he will accurately represent the Party's values and fulfill parliamentary duties with due diligence.

The decision for a change of representation within Parliament has come from a drive for maximum visibility and impact that will see the party move beyond its small minority status and take a big step forward in representation in all spheres of government. In order to do this we have to do a lot of groundwork and have to become much more visible to voters, explained Dr. Meshoe. I intend to lead by example and make myself more available to the party, our core constituents and the broader public. I will be working with our people on the ground, reaching out to more voters from diverse communities, and also strengthening the ACDP structures, said Dr. Meshoe.

The Party is confident that the restructuring will have positive effects for the ACDP as they gear up for the upcoming 2014 elections, both on the field and within Parliament.
