BCP orders primary elections re-run

The council primary elections reruns will be held in Tati Town ward in the Francistown West constituency, Tutume North and Tutume West wards in the Nkange constituency. The re-runs will be held on April 6. In Tati Town, the primary election will pit two aspiring council candidates, Beard Maja and Odirile Masebu.

The primary election repeat in Tati Town was occasioned by irregularities that occurred during the initial phase of the party’s primary election for the ward, according Vain Mamela, the BCP’s director of elections. The initial primary election was won by Maja by 75 votes to Masebu’s 70.
