Ivan Rowan Barnes
Ivan Barnes is the leader of the National Freedom Party, and its leading candidate on the national list, for the 2024 general election. He was elected president of the party on 17 December 2019, in an election that was disputed by the party's National Executive Committee.[1] His election was later recognised by the Independent Electoral Commission. His stint as party president is marred in infighting. He struggled not only with the former secretary general Canaan Mdletshe,[2] but also with Teddy Thwala, who was elected secetary-general of the party with him.[3]
