If this plan succeeds, the BDP members will be required to register to vote in internal party elections. Secondly, a member has to appear in the two voters roll, national and constituency one.

This was one of the resolutions taken at the youth council in Mosu over the weekend. However a source said some BDP members have been advocating the same process since the special congress in Gaborone last year.
