FRANCISTOWN: Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Bulela Ditswe primary election weekend losers at Moselewapula ward have alleged that the winner had trafficked people from neighbouring Tonota, Mathangwane and other areas.

The winner, Gilbert Boikhutso separated himself from his competition by garnering 299 votes whilst the closest contender Joseph Mabutho got 60 votes, followed by Mavis Amos with 50, Joyce Ndove 38  and Kabelo Maseko trailed way off with 12 votes.

When the perennial primary elections loser Mabutho stood up to speak, he started off like a man accepting the results only to show his gratitude to the returning officer, councillor Lesego Raditanka for conducting the primaries very well. He would later dismiss Boikhutso’s win as tantamount to stealing the results alleging he ferried people from elsewhere to solidify his “undeserving” win.
