BOBONONG: The Bobonong Magistrates Court yesterday morning dismissed a Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) challenge for the removal of 34 prospective voters from the constituency’s supplementary voters’ roll.

The case resulted from reports that the Botswana Congress Party had trafficked voters to Moletemane ward.  

Bobonong Magistrate Court’s Principal Magistrate Alice Rammapudi said the case had been overtaken by events and additionally, the court had no powers to order the alteration of the voters’ rolls after the issuance of the writ of elections. The party’s council candidate for Moletemane ward, Elijah Basinyi, launched an application with the Magistrate Court on August 29 seeking the removal of the 34 people from the voters’ roll, arguing that the accused had registered in incorrect polling districts.
