The executive management for the new term is Dr. Pieter Mulder, Dr. Pieter Groenewald, Adv. Anton Alberts, Mr. André Fourie, Dr. Corné Mulder, Mr. Jaco Mulder and Wouter Wessels.
 
Dr. Pieter Mulder said in his speech, that the unanimous re-election of the party’s leadership and the unity of the delegates points to the fact that the FF Plus, as a party, is sound and ready for the election in 2014.
 
Dr. Mulder also referred to the cooperation agreement between opposition parties and said that it would usher in an exciting new era in South Africa’s politics.
 
He dealt with ten points which he called “game-changers” which contributes to the fact that there is great fluidity in the politics of the country at the moment which leads to a lot of interest in and growth of the FF Plus.
 
Two of these points are the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) egg-dance regarding Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) and the huge role that social media is playing for the first time to get the public involved and keep them informed of the debate surrounding the forthcoming election.
