EVMs procurement under threat

On April 4, the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) slapped the PPADB with a letter threatening that should the parastatal continue with the purchase of the EVMs, in seven days, the party will approach the Court and they (PPADB) shall bear the costs.

BCP attorney, Martin Dingake reminded the PPADB that on March 20, the BCP approached the High Court challenging the Electronic (Amendment) Act which provides for the replacement of voting by ballot paper with voting by EVMs. The case is before Justice Lot Moroka.
