Cheslyn Daniels reaffirms loyalty to Patriotic Alliance and awaits mayoral candidacy decision
After his arrest and court appearance, Cheslyn Daniels reaffirms his loyalty to the Patriotic Alliance, stating he will 'gladly hand over the torch' if replaced as the mayoral candidate. What does this mean for his political future?
Cape Town mayoral candidate Cheslyn Daniels has reaffirmed his allegiance to the Patriotic Alliance (PA) but indicated he could step aside as a candidate if necessary. During a Facebook Live, Daniels met with PA leader Gayton McKenzie to explain his side of recent events, stating he received advice and guidance. McKenzie then excused Daniels from the meeting.
Daniels emphasized that he remains committed to the PA and hinted he would accept any decision made by the party's National Executive Committee regarding his candidacy, adding he would even invite a new candidate to a braai. Daniels, 33, faces assault charges following an incident involving his former wife and child in August. He and his wife were arrested and later granted bail, with strict conditions.
Daniels urged supporters to remain patient while the legal process unfolds, urging them not to make assumptions about his future within the party.
