BCP orders Kgatleng East re-nomination

Some members of the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) believe that the party leadership has gone beyond its mandate by calling for re-nominations for central committee positions despite the fall of the closing date. Kgatleng East constituency has been advised to conduct nominations today and submit names to the party central committee. The nominations are supposed to be held 30 days before the party elective conference. The situation came about after Stephen Makhura who is contesting for party chairpersonship wrote to the party central committee that the nominations in Kgatleng East constituency were not held procedurally since members went ahead to hold congress while they did not form a quorum and therefore, the party should nullify the nominations. Makhura is running against Samuel Rantuana.
