BDP at war in Palapye

The latest saga was apparently ignited by what the Tlou faction call a 'clandestine' party meeting held on April 28 culminating in the 'shocking' decision of no primaries for the Palapye constituencies next August.

Palapye was lined up as one of the constituency where the party will hold primaries for the 2009 general election. There was another view that since the party held a by-election early this year, it should not hold primaries. This issue also featured at the party's recent National Council but could not get full support, as there were people who felt the primaries should be held.
