Dikoloti’s mokoko escapade

Dikoloti has ended speculation about his political future when he finally acceded to calls to go as an independent. He will, therefore, not be part of the BDP candidates in next month’s polls. He will be contesting as an independent candidate after duly registering with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) as an independent candidate or mokoko in the vernacular going by the symbol, ‘Wena Beula’, having chosen the colours brown, black and white as his colours. The man, who entered the 12th Parliament at the age of 37 in the 2019 General Election, is a popular figure in the merged constituency and information gathered by the Mmegi team reveals that supporters of Dikoloti are actively defending his political career, canvassing the area to gather public opinions on how the Minister of Health should proceed.

In a letter authored by the IEC Secretary, Jeff Siamisang he wrote: “The application in which you submitted the symbol below for consideration to use as an independent candidate during the 2024 General Election as a parliamentary candidate for Goodhope-Mmathethe constituency has been approved.”
