Accusations fly as BDP primaries draw near

Kgatleng East constituency, which is dominated by the so-called Kwelagobe/Kedikilwe faction, is likely to be retained by an opposition party, particularly the Botswana National Front (BNF) if the factional wars persist. The incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) is Isaac Mabiletsa of the BNF.

In the coming BDP primaries, former MP Isaac Davids will try his luck again if he defeats the likes of current council chairperson Mpho Moruakgomo, Ezekiel Mooketsi and former Botswana High Commissioner to Kenya, Tebogo Nkwe. The battle, according to party insiders, will be between Moruakgomo and Davids.
