On Saturday, five candidates will slug it out at the Bosele ward by-election in the Gaborone Bonnington North constituency. Indications are that the best prepared candidate will carry the day. Mmegi Staffer TSAONE BASIMANEBOTLHE reports

So far, there is no obvious winner and it seems the electorate is going to be very strict with the parties vying for the vacant ward. The vacancy for Bosele ward council opened up after the death of a councillor. Five candidates running for the seat are the Botswana Congress Party’s (BCP) Kgomotso Kaelo, the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC)’s Maplanka Mpule, the Botswana Labour Party (BLP)’s Olebile Sesupo, the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP)’s Isaac Moseki and an independent candidate, Molomo Montsho.

Out of the five candidates, three parties that really stand a chance are the BDP, BCP and UDC. Over the weekend when Mmegi visited the area, the three parties were mostly mentioned by different voters as standing a good chance. It has been one of the hectic weeks for different political parties and an individual as no one seems set to leave any stone unturned as they canvass for political support.
