BDP throws out petitioners' bid

The party's Appeals Board, headed by attorney, Isaac Seloko, quashed all the protests due to failure to follow electoral procedures. The decision was endorsed at an emergency BDP Central Committee meeting on Wednesday evening.

BDP political and administration manager, Fidelis Molao, yesterday confirmed in an interview with Mmegi that all the five protests were dismissed because of failure to adhere to Bulela Ditswe rules and regulations. He said the Appeals Board did not even consider the merits of the cases once they (Appeals Board members) were convinced the petitioners had violated procedures.
