BCP, BNF women scramble for BMD areas

The polling districts that the women want to contest at are Gaborone North and Gaborone Central. The areas were under BMD before it was kicked out from the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC).

The two parties have been having fewer women representatives at both parliamentary and council level. The BCP wants Gaborone North constituency to be given to them and party chairperson, Motsei Rapelana will be UDC representative while in Gaborone Central they want BNF Women’s League to choose a woman.
