Dijeng faces TK again

Friday, October 11, 2019

PALAPYE: Moemedi Dijeng will have another opportunity to contest against former Serowe West MP, Tshekedi Khama when the two face up for the constituency in the impending national general elections.

The duo battled for the constituency under the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in the primary elections and Khama won by 2, 797 votes to Dijeng’s 1, 594. The other candidate, Keletso Rakhudu garnered 462 votes. Dijeng was handed the baton to contest the general elections by his party when Khama dumped the ruling BDP for Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) recently.

He is confident that despite having under a month to campaigning and facing a mammoth battle against the Kgosikgolo influence in the village, he can retain seat for the BDP.
