Kgosi appeals against Pule’s Bulela Ditswe triumph

Kgosi has served Tsholetsa House with a letter in which he raised an array of concerns regarding the recent BDP primary elections that took place in the constituency. The Assistant Minister for Local Government and Rural Development Mabuse Pule won the BDP ticket to the 2024 General Election by a margin of 109 votes at the primary elections held recently. Pule polled 1, 472 followed by Kgosi's 1, 363 votes, while Pakiso Pule got a paltry 127 votes.

Kgosi states that as much as he wanted to concede to a defeat, it has now emerged that there was an apparent gross irregularity that cannot be ignored. "One such concern is that a fellow candidate, Mabuse Mompati Pule, had access to the voters' roll a day before the elections while I was denied the same even on the voting day and somehow hundreds of names of democrats particularly in Modipane West ward and Dikwididi-Mabalane ward went missing from the voters’ roll, depriving democrats their rights to cast their votes. Many of my immediate family members and close friends were not spared from that anomaly," he said.
