Mfa warns Molao not to defect to BMD

There have been rumours that Molao is a sympathiser of the BMD, which split from the BDP recently. Mfa issued the warning to Molao at the BDP candidate's launch at Mathangwane on Sunday.  The guest speaker at the launch, Daniel Kwelagobe, the BDP chairman gave assurances that he is not leaving the party for BMD. But he surprised many when he dared those who want to leave to do so immediately.  "Those of you who want to leave the BDP, go ahead and leave now," he said. The statement is a major departure from the conciliatory tones he has employed in the past.  While President Ian Khama, almost always prefers punitive measures against dissenting BDP members, Kwelagobe has been urging dialogue and introspection at every turn. 

At the Sunday launch, he never said anything, either directly or indirectly against BMD or its partner in the by-election, the Botswana Congress Party (BCP).
