Unceremonious Ending To BCPYL Elective Congress

Madigele was to contest the presidency of the youth league against incumbent, Tebogo Molefhe. His lobby group, and that of Molefhe were to fight for other youth league leadership positions at the congress. Members of Madigele’s lobby group reportedly withdrew, just towards the elections on Saturday night because they felt that the elections could not go on, as constituencies that had attended did not form a quorum.

Twenty-two out of the party’s 57 constituencies turned up for the congress. Madigele’s team argued that for elections to take place, 29 constituencies should be present. His lobby group also reportedly did not want the congress to take place, citing some legality in addition to the quorum.
