The Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) yesterday painted Tlokweng with royal blue, black and gold colours as the party emerged victorious in the Saturday Parliamentary by-election.

The UDC retained Tlokweng constituency after the death of the area MP, Same Bathobakae last year November. UDC candidate, Masego Segokgo won by 4,635 votes, with Elijah Katse of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) getting 2,156 and independent candidate Shirley Segokgo coming a distant third with only 57.

The by-election, as it has become a norm, attracted a low turnout compared to the general elections in 2014.
