South African parliament on Tuesday voted against starting an impeachment process against President Cyril Ramaphosa, the parliament’s speaker said.
Lawmakers voted to reject a report by a panel of experts that found preliminary evidence Ramaphosa may have committed misconduct over a stash of foreign currency hidden at his private game farm.
Mr Ramaphosa has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
He has challenged the report in court and not been charged with any crime, but some opponents have called for his resignation.
After this vote, the president is likely to be re-elected as president of the ANC at the party’s elective conference which begins on Friday, Reuters reported.
