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 and no-one pulled out.
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.
