FRANCISTOWN: The assistant minister of Health and Wellness, Biggie Butale believes that presiding officers played a significant role in his high profile loss at the ruling party primaries in Tati West last month.

Just like a higher fraction of some Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) members who lost the primaries, Butale’s political future hinges on his ability to successfully convince his party to order a re-run in his constituency.

The assistant minister’s protest letter mostly contains the rhetoric usually raised by losers, but he appears to boost his arguments by strongly highlighting that there were coordinated efforts from presiding officers to make sure that he emerged the loser in the end.  Butale who is the incumbent area Member of Parliament (MP) lost the BDP primaries to President Mokgweetsi Masisi’s blue-eyed boy, Simon Moabi who is the party’s National Youth Executive Committee (NYEC) chairperson. Most council candidates with connections to Moabi emerged victorious.
