The Democratic Alliance Federal Council (FedCo) is the governing and policy-making body of the Democratic Alliance, the second-largest political party by number of seats in Parliament in South Africa. It sits when the party's Federal Congress is not in session.
The FedCo has been chaired by Deputy Finance Minister Ashor Sarupen since the Federal Congress. Sarupen has three Deputies to assist him; JP Smith, Thomas Walters, and Carl Pophaim.
The FedCo's main counterpart is the National Executive Committee of the African National Congress.
