BDP primary race heats up

Diana Kaaetze, Sam Brooks, and Hendry Louw have all successfully passed the party’s vetting process and are now actively campaigning to secure the BDP candidacy. This race follows the unfortunate passing of Dr Micus Chimbombi, who was the sitting Member of Parliament, leaving the constituency seat vacant.

As the party moves to fill this crucial position, political temperatures are rising, with supporters rallying behind their preferred candidates. Kaaetze, who previously stood as the BDP candidate in the 2024 General Election, is widely seen as a strong contender with solid grassroots support. Sam Brooks, a former Member of Parliament, is seeking to return to the political arena by capitalising on his legislative experience. Meanwhile, newcomer Hendry Louw brings a fresh perspective to the race, appealing to party members looking for new energy and ideas.
