There were indications that government would attempt to frustrate his efforts as it hadn't allowed his royal uncles to hold Kgotla meetings in his name. However, the Umbrella for Democratic Change’s (UDC) victory made things easy for Khama to enter his Kgotla without fearing objection from Mothusa Kgosi Serogola Seretse and outgoing Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Kgotla Autlwetse. Khama officially announced his resumption of duties as the Kgosi of Bagammangwato a day before the 2024 General Election.
In a letter addressed to the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development and the Department of Tribal Administration, Khama stated: "Effective from November 4, 2024, I shall assume my rightful office as Kgosi of the Bagammangwato tribe and commence exercising and performing the powers and duties vested in me under the Bogosi Act and the Bagammangwato customary law." Khama referenced the Bogosi Act, highlighting that his recognition as Kgosi is in accordance with Section 5(1) of the Act, which mandates that "no one shall hold or assume the Bogosi of any tribe unless recognised as a Kgosi". He further reinforced his position by citing Government Notice No.294 of 1979, which acknowledged his status as the Paramount Chief of Bagammangwato. In light of his return, Khama declared: "I hereby retract my previous designation of Seretse Peter Khama as Motshwarelela Bogosi jwa Bagammangwato and rescind my request to the Minister for his appointment as such."
