Boko lumps IEC, BDP in 'election fraud' :: Mmegi Online

The leader of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), Duma Boko has written to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) complaining about what he perceived as improper practices that impeded campaign and undermined free and fair elections.

Boko raised the concerns in a four-page letter to IEC secretary, Keireng Zuze, dated May 9, 2019. In the letter, copied to the United States of America (USA) Embassy and Delegation of the European Commission amongst others, Boko reminded the IEC that “the Umbrella for Democratic Change, pursuant to its rights and entitlement to campaign, deployed a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft to cover a number of areas in Botswana as part of its campaign”.

This outreach effort was to run from April 22 to May 2, 2019. A substantial part of the outreach covered the period of the supplementary registration overseen by the IEC.
