He noted with concern that members were yet to vote while some started late in different constituencies. Masisi highlighted that his hands were tied in these challenges saying it is within the purview of the party's electoral board led by Peter Siele. "Before I came here (Moshupa) I heard a report that people hadn't yet started at Molapowabojang and I talked with Siele because there is nothing that I can do," Masisi told the media of the disorganised primaries. "Our constitution doesn't allow me [to intervene] because our own 'IEC', ran by Siele, is the one in control," he said.
Masisi further stated that he was advised that the ongoing fracas would be mitigated and urged BDP members to remain patient. "What he told me is that the times will be moved," Masisi said. So BDP members, I ask you to be patient and vote," Masisi pleaded. Meanwhile, Masisi pointed out that the organisation challenge arose from people they had roped in to print their ballot papers. "Those that we had hired to print the ballot papers are the ones that caused the delay. This is something we could have not known as when we enquired they told us everything was on track," Masisi said. Masisi shared the cause of the delay after casting his vote at Moshupa along with First Lady Neo Masisi.
