Boko wins BNF court battle

Friday, July 16, 2010

FRANCISTOWN: The Francistown High Court yesterday dismissed a case in which some Botswana National Front (BNF) members challenged the eligibility of Gaborone lawyer, Duma Boko to stand for the party's presidency.

After going through the lengthy judgement for about three hours, Justice Moses Chinhengo said the case should be dismissed because clause 19.1 of the BNF constitution, on which it was based, is ambiguous.

The clause states that: "Any member shall qualify as a candidate for the president of the BNF provided the member is a citizen of Botswana, and has been a member of the BNF for at least five years".
