The company’s executive team, who supposedly report directly to President Ian Khama, will by hook or crook certify a victory for the BDP in the upcoming general election, sources close to the party tell Mmegi The nature of the company’s engagement has not been communicated even to some senior party leaders. Sources at the BDP this week confirmed that the three executives (two men and a woman) reported for work close to a month ago, but were not formally introduced to staff members.
The company is allegedly under instruction to make sure that the party retains power by a whopping popular vote of 70 percent or more. While this appears to be remote, sources close to the party say that the company is working around the clock to make sure that this is attained. The last time the party won elections by 70 percent or more was over 30 years ago when the ruling party was still a dominant force in politics. In the last two general elections the ruling party has failed to hit the 55 percent mark. Nikuv, which is closely linked to the feared Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, has a chequered history in Africa.
