Garekwe mum till re-run :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: A Gaborone-based attorney, Segaetsho Garekwe said yesterday that he was in the dark about why the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has ordered a re-run for the Palapye parliamentary by-election. Garekwe, the returning officer for the last December 22 primaries in Palapye, is yet to be informed about the party's recent decision.

"Honestly, I am in the dark and I am not complaining as I hope that I will be duly briefed as a stakeholder," he told Mmegi yesterday. He said that although he considered himself a stakeholder, he only knew about the central committee decision through media reports. It was his conviction never to attack the party and its leadership by demanding explanations.

He recently watched BDP secretary general, Jacob Nkate on television briefing the Palapye constituency about the February 16 re-run.
