Minister of Health, Edwin Dikoloti has taken his party to court challenging the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) central committee (C C) for unceremoniously withdrawing him from candidacy of Mmathethe –Goodhope constituency after an emphatic primaries win.

The urgent court matter will be heard soon. The BDP CC chose Peggy Serame to be their candidate in this year's General Election. Initially, the party had promised to call for a re- run but there was a change of heart. Mmegi has learnt that Dikoloti has served both Serame and the BDP C C this morning.

" We cannot comment on party internal matters," BDP spokesperson Kagelelo Kentse said when quizzed about the Dikoloti action.
