Cilliers Brink will not go to parliament
Mayor of Tshwane Cilliers Brink says he will be staying on in his position and will not be on the DA candidates' list for national elections.
He posted this announcement on X after the party revealed their candidates' list for the elections yesterday.
Brink responded to speculation that he would abandon his position after the May national and provincial elections.
The DA's Gauteng Premier candidate Solly Msimanga says that although Brink participated in the selection process, he will not be taking a seat as an MP.
"Brink has made it clear that he regards the stability of the Tshwane Multi-Party Coalition of critical importance, not just for the capital city, but for the country,” says Msimanga.
"In February 2023 Brink resigned as MP to clean out the mess left by decades of ANC cadre deployment and systemic corruption and to build something better in its place."
