In the official list of the 17 top six runners, there are only two women, and they are eyeing the same position. This means in the six positions contested, only the deputy secretary-general position might be held by a woman, either Nomvula Mokonyane or Febe Potgieter.
However, the party said it will allow nominations from the floor during the national elective conference next month.
The party said no-one declined nominations or had been disqualified.
President Cyril Ramaphosa and former health minister Zweli Mkhize are the only contenders for president.
The party will hold its national elective conference from December 16 to 20, which will see the governing party being led by some of those nominated.
