Madigele may get a re-run

According to a source, Dr. Alfred Madigele who appealed last month's results presented evidence against his opponent, Christian Greeff, asserting that the integrity of the election process was compromised. Madigele argued that the election, which was overseen by the incumbent area legislator Greeff, was marred by inconsistencies and violations, thereby compromising the overall integrity of the results.

Greeff had won with 901 votes, while Madigele received 856 votes followed by Pelonomi Bantsi who garnered 506 votes. If the party Central Committee (CC) agrees with the recommendations made by the regional committee, based on the evidence presented by the appellant, then all participants in the party’s primary elections, known as Bulela- Ditswe, would likely have to go through a second round of voting.
