Masisi explains Dikoloti, Serame saga

Four political parties successfully registered their presidential nominees, which is an important step pre the 2024 General Election which is billed for October 30. Masisi was nominated as the BDP presidential candidate for the second term, while Duma Boko was nominated by the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), and Dumelang Saleshando was nominated as the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) presidential candidate. The Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) on the other hand nominated Mephato Reatile as its presidential candidate.

Just before he signed the nomination papers in an event that was presided over by Chief Justice Terence Rannowane, Mmegionline caught up with President Masisi for an interview in which he explained decisions taken by the party leadership. Before he elucidated on the steps the party took to settle for Serame as the party candidate instead of Dikoloti who had won the primaries with a convincing margin of 1, 700 votes, Masisi’s attention was on the opposition, which had earlier sent a warning to him that they would give the BDP a run for its money in the coming polls.
