BCP counts losses after by-election switch

Samuel Moribame, the BCP Francistown region leader told Mmegi yesterday that the postponement has also created a dilemma for the party because its primaries for Francistown are billed for February, days after the rescheduled by-election. He said that unless they change the date of their primaries, some party members may abandon campaigning for the by-election and focus on campaigning on the primaries.

Campaigning for the February party primaries instead of the by-election in the city may reduce the BCP’s chances of winning Francistown West.
