AP cracks the whip :: Mmegi Online

The Alliance for Progressives (AP) central committee (CC) has slapped the Molepolole South branch committee chairman, Twobar Koontse, with a suspension letter, following a series of missteps and controversies within the party.

The branch committee was given a suspension letter on Sunday after the CC made a decision on Saturday and Koontse was relieved from his duty with immediate effect pending investigation.

According to the AP constitution, the branch committee is supposed to consist of eight members but the Molepolole South constituency had only seven members. The AP CC met and made a decision on Saturday during their normal meetings. This comes shortly after the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) candidate Shima Monageng wrote a complaint letter against the branch committee accusing it of de-campaigning him.
