After Simon Mavange Moabi emerged victorious for the top position, Thabo Autlwetse, Bruce Nkgakile and Fox Segwale teamed up against Moabi who managed to get another candidate Vuyo Yane into his team. Moabi, who has been making headlines with allegations that the party leadership supported him, won by 178 votes, Autlwetse got 130, Yane 61 while Nkgakile and Segwale got 43 votes each. Shortly after the announcement, the contestants and their voters complained that the vote was unfair as some people were not supposed to vote.
They then reached an agreement that Autlwetse contest for secretary general, Nkgakile treasurer and Segwale deputy secretary general. They all emerged victorious. Yane won the deputy chairmanship.
Chaos erupted once again after Autlwetse won with complaints that some voters were shut out and others were not eligible. Some angry members overturned tables used by the elections officers.Losing contestant Ronald Kgathi then lodged a formal complaint, which he later withdrew.
The elections then continued peacefully with the aggrieved calming down and joining one another in song.
