BDP Gabs region to scrap Bulela Ditswe

Instead, the party’s branches will be empowered to bring forth a single consensus candidate who will then be endorsed by the central committee. The latest move is a change from recent proposals within the region that the party hold primaries for the 2019 general election, as early as next year in order to provide time for a campaign to retake the capital city from the opposition.

Mmegi has learnt that a special congress held over the weekend instead decided to scrap Bulela Ditswe in the Gaborone Region, while also resolving that the party implements a similar arrangement for councillors as well.
