Mayor Thutlwe, we need developments

When he retained the seat, the youthful councillor of the Botswana National Front bloc of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) ensured that he continued the journey he started in 2014, to the next general elections of 2019.

The mayoral election was not free from controversy as some senior members of the UDC had to step in to ensure that the coalition caucus’ preferred candidate is not challenged from within. Of course, the decision did not go down well with Sekgororoane of UDC coalition partner, Botswana Movement for Democracy, who challenged the caucus decision, and stood and lost against Thutlwe.
