The elective congress is scheduled for next month, PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

Members of the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) eager to contest positions within the Youth League and Women’s League have yet to submit their names for the Expression of Interest for the upcoming elections, party officials confirmed this week.

With the elective congress scheduled for next month, expectations are high following the postponement of last year’s event. This came after some youth last year destroyed the ballot box, and were then fined for disrupting the elective congress, which was held at Molepolole. This was the party's first attempt at holding both Youth and Women’s Leagues congresses.

The party’s secretary-general, Dr Malefho Kolaatamo, told The Monitor on Sunday about the delay in submissions.
