BDP unleash cadres on 'headache' constituencies :: Mmegi Online

The Botswana Democratic Party's (BDP) political education and election committee (PEEC) will next week deploy cadres in 11 'headache' constituencies as preparations for party primary elections intensify.

The PEEC was forced to act on realisation that some Members of Parliament (MPs) and councillors were intimidating, even planning to block membership registration of new members in these problematic areas.

The BDP primary elections, better known as Bulela-Ditswe, will be held on August 11. The constituencies of Lentsweletau/Mmopane and Thamaga/Kumakwane have been identified as trouble-prone and are amongst the areas the PEEC will visit and monitor. According to sources close to the developments, PEEC briefed congress at Botho College over the weekend that it has decided to do what they call open mass registration for everyone to register in those areas.
