FRANCISTOWN: The battle for the mayoral race in Francistown has begun in earnest with two candidates reportedly vying for the mayoral chain within the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).

The BDP enjoys majority at the Francistown City Council (FCC) chambers and as a result it has the luxury to determine who becomes the mayor at its caucus. After a decision is made at the party caucus, the name of the proposed mayor will then be taken to the council chambers for voting and endorsement. The voting will merely be a formality because the BDP enjoys the majority in the council.

The term of office for the current mayor, Godisang Radisigo and his deputy Gaethuse Ramolotsana ends in June next year. Already, the charismatic Itekeng ward councillor, Lesego Kwambala is widely perceived to be a frontrunner in the race. Kwambala is considered one of the good debaters in the council and has often times chipped with very memorable motions.
