The ruling party has warned those with questionable track records they will be barred from contesting in the upcoming party primaries, also known as Bulela Ditswe, billed for June. The BDP issued a declaration through its chairperson Slumber Tsogwane, calling on aspiring primary election candidates to issue verifications that they do not have any debt and/or criminal record, or are not subject to any criminal investigation.
The party also highlighted that those aspiring for primaries should specify if there is any pending litigation or judgment of the court that may result in them not being able to satisfy the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) for nomination.
