DURBAN - The DA's leadership race has taken an unexpected turn ahead of the national elective conference in April.
Party leader John Steenhuisen intends to withdraw from the race.
He will brief the media on the latest political developments in Durban.
Steenhuisen was recenly cleared of misusing party funds, but still faces a disciplinary hearing to determine whether he and Dion George brought the party into disrepute.
Last month, George quit the party live on eNCA amid intensifying internal tensions.
