Kanjabanga fails to bar Ntime

Kanjabanga's application against the BNF and Ntime, was dismissed with costs by the Lobatse High Court yesterday. The lawyer wanted the court to declare the decision of the BNF to allow Ntime to contest the primary elections unlawful. He argued that the decision violates Clause 7 of the BNF's Primary Elections Rules and Regulations.  But Judge Singh Walia ruled that the regulation does not prevent Ntime's nomination. 

The judge rejected Kanjabanga's claim that Ntime failed to submit his application to the constituency elections committee.The court found that there was evidence that Ntime submitted his application to the constituency elections committee but he was snubbed by the officials.
