BDP refers appeals back to F/town region

Francistown region was forced to hear five cases yesterday and to drive to Gaborone to listen to an issue, which Phandu Skelemani protested Francistown East constituency results, which were won by former mayor, Buti Billy.

The BDP primary elections appeals task team will hear Skelemani’s case today and the region will have to defend their decision after it ordered for a re-run. The region maintains that civil servants voted whilst they were not supposed to do so. Skelemani is not bound to attend the hearing.
