SEROWE: Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Central region leadership has vehemently denied accusations that it was deliberately delaying results of Bulela Ditswe primaries protests frustrating some politicians. Four politicians have recently poured scorn over Mogome councillor, Lesedi Phuthego’s parliamentary ticket victory citing irregularities.

The quartet includes Sefane Phuthego (not related to the winner), Tebelelo Seretse, Oteng Thankane and Dr Kolaatamo Malefho. The contention of the quartet generally is that those who conducted the primaries were not competent to run elections of the Serowe South magnitude, as they were sometimes “clueless.” The team that conducted the primaries was from the Kweneng region.

“Look, we appeared orally before the BDP Central region leadership just after the mandatory seven days. Now, instead of the region deciding on our fate, we were shocked when instead last week members of the party’s PEEC (Political Education and Elections Committee) appeared briefly without offering a solution,” decried one frustrated source who preferred anonymity for fear of reprisals. But the Central region deputy chairperson and councillor Keneilwe Monageng denied any attempts by his regional committee to frustrate anyone in the Serowe South constituency.
