BCP stages fresh primaries in disputed Francistown West wards

Wednesday, July 25, 2018

FRANCISTOWN: Botswana Congress Party (BCP) will go on with plans to contest all the council wards in Francistown West at the 2019 general election with the exception of one. Monarch East, a Francistown West ward, was given to the Botswana National Front (BNF).
