BCP condemns unilateral electoral reforms

Addressing the party’s ninth national conference at Setlalekgosi Junior Secondary School last Sunday, Saleshando said the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has maintained its culture of disregarding opposition parties by amending the electoral law to its advantage.

He cited recent electoral amendments that saw increased fees paid by those who wish to contest elections, abolishment of the supplementary registration for elections, and replacement of ballot papers with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
