Broken BPF retains Serowe West

Monday, July 10, 2023 | 560 Views |

Even though it went into the Serowe West by-election divided, the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) over the weekend beat the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in a constituency that was once its stronghold.

The BPF, supported by Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), won the by-election through Onalepelo Kedikilwe’s 2,933 votes. BDP’s Moemedi Dijeng received 1,267 votes, BCP’s Sebusiso Ngwenya got a paltry 103 votes, and Kefilwe Koboto – who stood independently – amassed just 82 votes.
