New lease on life as MPs, ministers secure reruns

Despite many members anxiously awaiting these outcomes, it has been confirmed that three to four constituencies will rerun their primary elections for parliamentary seats. Amongst the key reruns, Lentsweletau-Lephephe constituency Member of Parliament (MP) and Cabinet minister, Welheminah Makwinja, who lost to Legojane Kebaitse in last month's primaries will get another chance in the rerun.

Makwinja is no stranger to reruns, having previously won in a controversial one in 2018, beating then-area legislator Vincent Seretse. Notably, in the Mmadinare constituency assistant Minister Molebatsi Molebatsi's appeal against Kefentse Mzwinila was unsuccessful due to a lack of evidence and failure to follow protocol in challenging the outcome.
