Can these Mekoko hurt Domkrag?

There is no denying that some people have chosen to go independent. My count ends on one hand-no more than five independents from the BDP for parliament. Then there are scores of councillors. Councillors matter but they are not the core of what leads to the formation of a government; yes, they do contribute immensely to who the ultimate winner is thus matter but I will focus on MPs for they matter in a more immediate way.

The BDP has had a popular vote that has fallen from the 70 percentages to now the lower 50 percentages. The trend over time is one of general decline. The past general election saw an increase by just about 1 percept but that did not reverse what has been a trend of decline in any significant way. This is worry number one.
