Takatokwane In a strategic move to appeal to younger voters, the BNF has nominated a youthful candidate Jacob Kelebeng for Takatokwane constituency.

His success in the primary elections, where he received a large number of votes, suggests that his candidacy resonates well with the party’s base. Kelebeng got 1, 678 votes, Lopang Sebutlenyane 754 while Jimmy Thukwi got only 182. The BNF once won this area in the 2004 General Election.
