The Kgalagadi South Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) position became vacant after the death of the former area MP, Dr. Micus Chimbombi. At the heart of the debate lies a critical question: will the two opposition parties cooperate, or will competing interests drive them apart?
As it stands, the BPF is caught in an internal 'tug-of-war' over whether to field a candidate for the by-election or not. Mmegi has learnt that the BPF constituency committee has written to the party's national executive committee expressing interest in contesting for the area in the forthcoming by-election.
