DK faction regrouping?

In the wake of the fall from grace of the incumbent MPs comes speculation that the party's defunct Kedikilwe-Kwelagobe faction has started to mobilise itself ahead of next year's elections.

Over the weekend the Minister of Health and incumbent South East South MP Lesego Motsumi lost the party's primaries to Odirile Mothale. Motlhale arrived late to contest the constituency and many did not see him prevailing when paired against the incumbent and minister Motsumi. A product of UB's BDP branch, the Gs-26, Motlhale comes across as a reluctant politician. In 2004 he tried his luck in Gaborone West and lost to Robert Molefhabangwe of the Botswana National Front (BNF). He is believed to be aligned to the Kedikilwe-Kwelagobe faction.
