BNF confirms 21 MP candidates

However, elections in Lobatse were postponed due to irregularities. The remaining primary elections are scheduled to take place at the beginning of June. From the given allocations, the BNF got 26 constituencies, the Alliance for Progressives (AP) has 11, and the Botswana Patriotic Front managed to secure 14 while the Botswana Peoples Party was allocated only five from the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) coalition.

“The low numbers in some constituencies are attributable to a combination of factors - lack of resources to mobilise and bring people to the polling stations as we are an opposition party without resources , people finance democracy from their pockets, new data base constraints, deadline that was set for eligibility to vote in primary elections.
