Mayor of Ratlou: 2016–2019
In January 2016, Modise announced her resignation from the Executive Council and the Provincial Legislature. A government spokesperson said that she had resigned after ANC branches had called for her removal and the ANC Provincial Executive Committee had approached the government to make the same request. On 19 January 2016, she was sworn in as Mayor of Ratlou Local Municipality, her hometown. She denied that she had been forced to accept a demotion and said that she was pleased to be back in Ratlou. She remained in the mayoral office after the 2016 local elections.
Parliament: 2019–present
In the 2019 general election, Modise was elected to an ANC seat in the National Council of Provinces, the upper house of the South African Parliament.{{Cite web |title=Tebogo Constance Modise |url=http://www.pa.org.za/person/tebogo-modise/ |access-date=2023-03-22 |website=People's Assembly |language=en}}
