Keorapetse declares: I have no fear

Monday, September 19, 2022 | 2620 Views |

Following a Botswana Congress Party (BCP) rally held in his Selebi-Phikwe West constituency on Saturday, the area Member of Parliament (MP) Dithapelo Keorapetse says he has no fear because his conscience is clear.

Keorapetse, who says he stands right on top of the truth, was expelled from the BCP in July after replacing BCP president Dumelang Saleshando, a coalition vice president, as the new Leader of Opposition (LOO) in Parliament.

On Saturday different speakers took turns to discredit the expelled Keorapetse as unfit to continue leading the people of Selebi-Phikwe West. Keorapetse is serving his second successive term as Phikwe West legislator. During the rally, Saleshando said Phikwe residents should go and reflect because in Keorapetse they have a confused legislator who has decided to look back like Lot’s wife.

The first leg of the primaries was held last weekend, with the final leg being billed for the coming weekend. This time around, the BDP failed to shine in its primary elections. The elections were chaotic; most if not all polling stations didn't open at the specified time of 6am. Loyal BDP members braved the...
