Kethoilwe Finally Makes It

Kethoilwe of the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) who are now under the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) has been contesting national elections in various wards within Francistown since 1999 to no avail. 

He has contested under various opposition parties since 1999. At the 2014 general elections under the BCP ticket he was destined for a triumph (at Moselewapula) but surprisingly lost to  late entrant Lechedzani Modenga of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) who many pundits had thought was a weaker candidate than the former. Modenga died early this year before the end of his council term which necessitated a by-election.
