BNF councillor takes BDP to court over elections

The urgent application was heard in the evening of Monday May 29, 2017 and Otlaadisa succeeded in interdicting the re-election which was to be held on Tuesday 30, May 2017. The Council Secretary had issued a Notice of Convocation of a meeting to re-elect a chairperson and its deputy, again.

The Council Secretary claims that elections were not properly run as two ex-officio members did not vote after they were advised that the standing orders made them ineligible to cast a vote.
