In a strange twist, the remote constituency of Jwaneng-Mabutsane has registered the highest number of voters’ roll objections while the capital Gaborone, with four hotly contested constituencies has none. The IEC chief elections officer Dintle Rapoo told Mmegi that as of this week, the cases for voters’ roll objection had grown drastically from 250 to 588.

“The highest one is Jwaneng-Mabutsane by 303 followed by Mogoditshane with 141,” said Rapoo. According to Rapoo, Kanye has recorded 69 cases while Ramotswa and Tsabong have recorded 47 and 16 respectively. Lobatse has nine cases while Mochudi has three cases.

“In total we have 588 objected cases. This shows that Batswana are now responsible when they inspect the voters’ roll,” Rapoo said.
