BDP underdog itching for Gaborone Central re-run

Relatively young Mangwegape-Healy told Mmegi that despite coming last in the first round of Bulela Ditswe, he still believes that he can snatch the constituency from Mogami who led the pack. He attributed his loss in the first round to the timing at which elections were held.

 “Look most of our electorate told us that the timing for elections was very inconveniencing in that most of them were either taking their kids home for festive season or themselves were going for weddings as it was a holiday season,” Mangwegape-Healy said.  Also counting against him, said Mangwegape-Healy, was the fact that the University of Botswana, Institute of Health Sciences and other institutions in the Gaborone Central constituency were closed, and his target voters, the students, were away.
