The conference was a precursor to the general election of 2009,which the ANC was extremely likely to win and which did indeed lead to Zuma's ascension to the presidency of South Africa. Mbeki was prohibited from serving a third term as national President but,if re-elected ANC President,could likely have leveraged that office to select his successor.
