Ramaphosa reelected as leader of ruling ANC party

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been reelected as the leader of the ruling African National Congress party.

Ramaphosa's supporters burst into celebrations as results were announced Monday at the ANC's crucial leadership conference in Johannesburg.

This comes as a welcome victory for Ramaphosa, who has been mired in a scandal and facing calls to step down as president of the country and to be replaced as the leader of the ANC. Ramaphosa's victory paves the way for him to run for reelection to a second term as South Africa's president in the national elections in 2024.
