Some Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) members say they are unhappy that Specially Elected Member of Parliament, Unity Dow, is failing to abide by party rules and regulations.

This comes after BDP Parliamentary Whip, Liakat Kablay lodged a complaint against Dow last month and the latter filing her defence statement. She was given 14 days by the BDP’s disciplinary hearing sub-committee to have written her defence.

Kablay had written to the party disciplinary sub-committee that Dow has gone against the party caucus and continued to tarnish the party’s image on social media. Mmegi has learnt that some members are pushing the leadership to suspend Dow from the party because they feel that her actions are tarnishing the party’s image.
