BDP set traps for me, favoured Serame - Dikoloti :: Mmegi Online

Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Mmathethe/Molapowabojang, Dr Edwin Dikoloti says the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) had long wanted to knock him off the contest further alleging that the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) interfered during the party’s ‘Bulela Ditswe’ in Goodhope/Mmathethe constituency.

Dikoloti, who is the Minister of Health and is currently on suspension from the party has accused the BDP of setting traps for him and favouring Minister of Finance, Peggy Serame over him. Despite winning the July primaries, the BDP central committee had installed Serame as the MP candidate for the constituency.

“It had been quite obvious on many occasions that the leadership of the party favoured Serame over me. Much had been done by the BDP to find an excuse to knock me out of the primaries including setting traps which I avoided thanks to sympathetic voices within the party leadership,” he said.
