BDP rejects'dictatorial' proposals

The BDP holds its congress and elections every two years. The party was gathered at Boipuso Hall in Gaborone to vote for or against 18 proposed constitutional changes following a task force led by BDP Women's wing chairperson Tebelelo Seretse.

There has been a concern that the constitutional amendments were a threat to the BDP's democratic fibre, with party cadres signaling worry that the proposed reforms sought to transfer power from party structures to the incoming party president Ian Khama.
