BDP nominates Sethodi for Maun East

Sethodi recently resigned from his post as the acting chief of Chanoga to pave way for the heir apparent, his cousin Kabo Sekopo. Before Sethodi traded his traditional garbs for politics, rumours were abound that the BDP had identified him as the rightful person to represent it in the General Election even before he officially resigned from his customary roles.

“Those whom I have been acting for intend to take over and so naturally I have to step down to allow them to appoint their own,” said Setlhodi when he quit his chieftainship position. Out of 61 parliamentary seats that are up for grabs in the 2024 plebiscite that is normally held in October, the Maun East constituency, which is currently held by Goretetse Kekgonegile of the Botswana Congress Party (BCP), was the only constituency in which the BDP has no parliamentary representative.
