The scramble for Kgatleng constituencies :: Mmegi Online

For some time now, two traditional constituencies of Kgatleng have been difficult to predict as they have been exchanging hands. From the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), the Botswana Congress Party (BCP), the Botswana National Front (BNF) and in recent times, the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC). The Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) has also joined the fray ahead of the 2024 polls. As Bakgatla join the rest of the country at the polls on October 30, MMEGI Staffer INNOCENT SELATLHWA looks at the odds in Kgatleng, which now has a third constituency

Kgatleng East

Though reconstituted, the Kgatleng East constituency was in 2014 won by the UDC from the BCP that had won it in 2009. The constituency would in 2019 be won by Mabuse Pule of the BDP. It remains to be seen who will snatch it with Pule a favourite to retain it.
