BDP courts BCP

FRANCISTOWN: Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) civic leaders in Francistown are courting the Botswana Congress party (BCP) to oust the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) from the city council leadership. Though it has the least number of councillors, BMD is in control of the Francistown City Council (FCC), through the mayor Shadreck Nyeku and chairpersons of crucial committees.

The BMD has five councillors, the BCP has seven with the BDP numbers standing at 10. This week, Satellite North councillor, James Kgalajwe who has always championed the course of the BDP team said all is not lost in the battle against BMD.

"We can't give up the fight. We are still pursuing the BCP to look critically at the situation. We are saying it is not normal for a minority party to run the council, at the expense of the parties in the majority," he said.
