We warned govt on DIS - Saleshando :: Mmegi Online

I wish to welcome all the delegates to our extra ordinary congress. As we are all aware, the 2013 National Congress held in Selebi-Phikwe was unable to address the proposed constitutional amendments that were tabled, and a decision was made that the matter will be addressed this year. This is therefore a special congress that will address the proposed amendments to the constitution.

On behalf of all the delegates, I wish to express our collective gratitude to the Gaborone North constituency for having agreed to host this year’s congress. It can never be an easy task for any constituency to commit its human resource to the onerous logistics of preparing for such an important meeting on the eve of the general elections. In the run up to the 2009 general election, it was once more Gaborone North that hosted our annual meeting on the dawn of the general election.

Gaborone North is without doubt an important constituency for the BCP. In the last election, we lost the constituency to Botswana Democratic Party by a margin of 243 votes.
