The Democratic Alliance (DA) today elected George Michalakis as our new Parliamentary Leader. He will spearhead the DA’s efforts to rescue South Africa in line with our commitments to the electorate in the last election.
The DA is confident that Michalakis will vigorously lead the DA in Parliament in line with our values and principles and fight for what is best for all South Africans in Parliament.
As Parliamentary Leader, Michalakis will spearhead the DA’s work in the National Legislature and ensure that government is subjected to rigorous oversight. This includes leading the DA’s legislative agenda, such as our bill to replace BEE and bar impeached officials from serving in Parliament, as well as making sure that power is held to account.
South Africans deserve a Parliament that works for and represents them.
With George Michalakis at the helm, the DA will continue to use parliament as a platform to fight for all South Africans.
