Deputy president David Mabuza declined nomination for the party's deputy president position. The minister of justice Ronald Lamola, outgoing ANC treasurer general Paul Mashatile and Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane will face off for the position.
The conference descended into chaos when former cabinet ministers Nomvula Mokonyane and Tina Joemat-Peterson were nominated to contest for the position of ANC first deputy secretary general.
The security had to be tightened as some of the delegates went close to the stage where the ANC leadership was sitting and demanded that the leadership be changed.
Ramaphosa's supporters responded by chanting songs displaying their loyalty to him.
