They will ask us: Want went wrong?

See, the postponement of the Francistown bye-election is supposed to be something that everyone with the interest of democracy at heart embraces: in principle, it is a good gesture because the same bye-election still has outstanding matters in court that necessitate it be held later than the 23rd of November. This is purely sensible.

But no, the general population-at least those who vent out- have been outright against it. They are against it merely because for them it is ‘another trick from the BDP to cheat’. See, the merit of the issue is no longer being discussed, and this is because people believe it is being done not in the public interest. Perceptions are that it is being done for nefarious reasons even though the Presidency may in fact be acting in manner that is responsible.
