Gaborone Central officials dump BDP

In a letter addressed to the BDP secretariat, Gaborone Central branch secretary, Bogadi Nwako notifies the party that she, together with 10 members of the branch committee are resigning from the ruling party with immediate effect. Attached to the letter are copies of resignation letters from 13 committee members of the branch and ward committees.

Among them are deputy secretary, Monica Gomotho, deputy treasurer, Masego Motlhaleemang and women's wing chairperson, Ethel Morubana. Nwako said their resignation is a reaction to the treatment they got from the BDP leadership when then BDP secretary general, Gomolemo Motswaledi was suspended and subsequently replaced by a new candidate for the parliamentary seat, Kgomotso Mogami without their consent.
