Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) leader, President Mokgweetsi Masisi has admitted teething problems in their primary elections, otherwise known as Bulela-Ditswe that will be held on August 11, 2018.

When addressing the BDP members at their extraordinary congress held in Gaborone under the theme  ‘Unity and inclusivity towards a prosperous Botswana - 2019 and beyond’, Masisi said Political Education and Elections Commission (PEEC) has reported cases in some constituencies where branches and interested parties engage in unfair practices that register only those members perceived to support or favour particular candidates.

“To resolve these matters, PEEC will supervise the conduct of open mass registration exercises at these constituencies to ensure that all are accorded equal opportunity to register. Proper membership registration and sanitisation of the voters’ roll is critical to the conduct of free and fair elections and we must safeguard and ensure sanctity of our internal electoral systems and processes,” Masisi said.
