Dr. Andries P. Treurnicht is re-elected NP leader in the Transvaal

Dr. Andries P. Treurnicht, Minister of Public Works, Statistics and Tourism, was unanimously re-elected as the National Party's (NP)leader in the Transvaal. As the chief spokesman for the conservative wing of the NP, he re-affirmed  that the party will continue to work for independent national groups on a geographical basis. Fourteen years later (1994) the NP lost control of the country to the African National Congress (ANC)and formed part of the Government of the National Unity.
