In his report, Motshegwa said the remaining issues had internal challenges that needed to be resolved. He further stated that the national elections appeals committee had since issued verdicts on the appeals they were handling and had informed the parties involved and their respective structures. Additionally, he noted that some matters decided by the national elections appeals committee had been referred to the central committee (CC) for final determination. The 13 wards where there are appeals include; Khwee, Maboane, Gathwane, Lerala East, Mmutlane-Bonwapitse, Ramatlabama, Kang North, Sesung-Metsibotlhoko, Makgwenyane, Gasegogwane, Bagami, Moreane and Kebuang.
The four constituencies are Shoshong, Kgatleng Central, Molepolole North and Tonota. The party SG also emphasised that there are policies in place, specifically the BNF electoral rules, which prescribe a democratic, transparent, and fair process for conducting primary elections and electing structures.

The institutional structures are clear and independent from the CC, and on that note, no member of the CC is ever involved in the primary elections," he said. Furthermore, he explained that the responsibility to campaign and be elected rests solely on the aspiring candidates, who must convince members in their respective constituencies or wards. Additionally, if there are any genuine complaints, they are raised with the national elections board.
