BDP anoints Gaborone for Tlokweng

In a letter to the embattled Katse and three council candidates, explaining why they were withdrawn from contesting in the October general elections, the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) secretary general, Mpho Balopi states that the central committee decided Gaborone should represent the party as there was no time for primaries re-run. 

The letter, dated June 9, was addressed to Katse and the three disqualified council candidates – Tidimalo Matlhotse, Stella Matlapeng and Amantle Matlapeng.
