BDP set traps for me, favoured Serame - Dikoloti

Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Mmathethe/Molapowabojang, Dr Edwin Dikoloti says the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) had long wanted to knock him off the contest further alleging that the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) interfered during the party’s ‘Bulela Ditswe’ in Goodhope/Mmathethe constituency.
