The latest development means that the current BFA president, Maclean Letshwiti, will run for his third term unopposed. As a result, he will now become the first BFA president to win a third consecutive term. Meanwhile, the electoral committee has also announced that Maokaneng Bontshetse and Tico Kamati will stand unopposed for the positions of vice president one and two respectively.

Suzie Montsho and Thabang Shadikong will stand for the positions of additional female member.
