BNF Regional Congress in Molepolole PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

The Botswana National Front (BNF) Kweneng Regional Congress held on Saturday in Molepolole endorsed party president Duma Boko to continue leading the BNF even after the upcoming July elective congress leading up to the 2024 General Elections.

The regional congress is made up of eight constituencies, which are both Molepolole North and South, Mmakgodi-Gabane, Thamaga-Kumakwane, Lentsweletau-Mmopane, Letlhakeng-Lephephe, Mogoditshane, and Takatokwane. Boko will be challenged by Baatlhodi Molatlhegi in the upcoming elective congress.

The regional congress, which was well attended, also resolved that each constituency must at least register close to 10,000 members. Kweneng regional secretary, Ellson Baeletsi said: "We have agreed that each constituency must set up its office and we have been given up to March 2023 to have done so. The members also requested the party central committee to consider splitting the Kweneng region into two because it is too big and at times the regional committee takes time to visit all constituencies that fall under the region. This is simply because of its broadness. The regional committee must from time to time be able to check party structures and also address any arising matters in the area." He said the congress also resolved that the party central committee must consider early primary elections if possible by the end of 2022.
