Disgruntled BDP members who were irked by the outcome of the party’s July primary elections have joined the opposition or become independent candidates, which Masisi feels should not be happening. Just like in the primaries of past years, the BDP finds itself fire-fighting a wave of grievances from disgruntled members who feel hard done by the system.
Speaking during separate political events in Ditshegwane and Mmathethe recently, Masisi said he lost the party primaries popularly known as Bulela-Ditswe but never started a conflagration of protests, nor threatened to sabotage his party at the general election.
