Addressing delegates at the BNF congress, Boko decried the growing trend of registering people solely for voting purposes, only for those individuals to disappear after the elections. “Le kgotelesega party ka bo ntodisa meletswana. Go kwadisa maloko go iwa ditlhophong ga go a siamela party,” he lashed out at those cheating the system of the party. He warned that such conduct not only undermines the party’s integrity but also opens the door to infiltration. Boko argued that the practice is the root cause of ongoing disputes over voters' rolls and delegate lists. On the very day of the BNF elections, Boko, the party electoral board, and members from both contesting factions were forced into a prolonged meeting. The emergency talks aimed to resolve chaos sparked by the emergence of parallel delegates from 14 constituencies. Out of 14, six constituencies were disqualified. The disqualified and barred constituencies were Okavango West and East, Shashe West, Bobirwa, Tati East, and Tati West. Shockingly, Boko revealed that the party is being falsely represented in areas where it doesn’t even exist. “I was shocked to realise that the BNF is said to be present in some areas which, as president, I know it isn’t,” he said. Earlier, Boko had warned that some constituencies might not participate due to irregularities in their delegate selection processes. He used the moment to underscore the urgent need for the party to establish solid and functional structures across the country. However, a leaked electoral board report reads thus: Submission of parallel delegation by Palapye constituency “There were two delegate lists submitted for Palapye constituency. The other list was signed by the constituency chairperson and the secretary, whom we have confirmed with the secretariat as the legitimate office bearers." However, according to a source, a ruling was made that those who should vote are the ones who would have gone through the proper structure.
