Nominations for the EFF's Top 6 are set to get underway on Saturday evening at the party's elective conference, in Johannesburg.
Delegates will nominate their new leaders, from the floor.
The names must meet the threshold in order to pass. It will only go to a vote if there is contestation.
Earlier in the evening a quorum was reached - with enough delegates present for voting to be considered a strong enough representation of the will of the majority.
Watch live.
