BCP aspiring candidates at loggerheads :: Mmegi Online

As the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) prepares for Selibe-Phikwe West primary elections scheduled for this Saturday, divisions continue to show. Selibe –Phikwe West constituency is marred in controversy as the two aspiring candidates are accusing each other of trying to rig elections.

The two candidates who will battle it out over the weekend are Brothers Malema and Reuben Kaizer. Kaizer’s campaign team is complaining that their members were struck out of the voters roll during the audit by some party structures in favour of Malema.

“They believe that Malema is being favoured by some party elders in the area, while some believe that Malema is known in the area, unlike Kaizer. They want someone who is very strong and could give the current Member of Parliament (MP) Dithapelo Keorapetse a challenge in the upcoming election,” a source revealed.
