Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP to pull out of NDA: Report

<p>Having survived eight motions of no confidence, South Africa&#39;s president Jacob Gezedleyihlekisa Zuma has emerged as a political survivor. From his rise to power&nbsp;to the eighth time attempt at removing him from the power and with all the corruption scandals, President Zuma&#39;s political career has been a rollercoaster ride.</p>

<p>Things, however, are different this time. Zuma might have survived this eighth no confidence vote by 198 votes, but&nbsp;the results have proved his victory to be narrow. Worst still, 29 of Zuma&#39;s own MPs voted to oust him. This brings to light that Zuma&nbsp;may not be enjoying full support within The African National Congress (ANC) after all.</p>
