FRANCISTOWN: The ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is yet to take a position on its councilor, Daniel Modise, who was recently convicted of indecent assault.

Modise is a nominated councillor in Gaborone. He was found guilty and convicted of indecent assault by Extension II Magistrate, Tshoganetso Atamelang approximately two weeks ago.

He was given a two-year suspended jail sentence. His conviction is a clear breach of the BDP constitution which states that members must adhere to party policies and behave in ‘consonance therewith and with dignity proprietary to propagate the good image of the party’ and not to embarrass the party by any misconduct.
