Former Mayor Beats A Retreat

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Former Selebi-Phikwe mayor, Benjamin Bagayi has quit the race for Selebi-Phikwe East parliamentary seat. The nominated councillor has now shifted his interest to Phikwe West's Tlhakadiawa council seat.

Bagayi has been out to contest the primaries for the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) for the Selebi-Phikwe East parliamentary seat currently held by Nonofo Molefhi. The other figures interested in ousting Molefhi are former Selebi-Phikwe Town Clerk, Itireleng Phatshwane and Johannes Malepeng.

Sources said Bagayi decided to withdraw after he saw his chances diminished by the entrance of Phatshwane who is now seen as a front-runner in the race.
