BDP investigates S/Phikwe mayoral elections

BDP councillors were shocked when the Mayor cast his deciding vote in favour of the candidate of the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) after the votes for deputy Mayor tied between the two parties.

The Executive Secretary of the BDP, Dr Comma Serema, confirmed in an interview yesterday that investigations into the issue would be launched today. "What happened is not normal," Serema said. "But I cannot comment further because investigations will start tomorrow, whereupon I will meet and talk to our councillors."
