Mmadinare North East Reject BDP Cllrs

In a charged emergency ward congress, angry party members accused Lejowa of foul play in the recent appointment of nominated councillors. They say he is responsible for the failure of Goabamang Nkoshe - the candidate they had recommended  - to make the list of nominated councillors. They said a different person, Onthatile Farmer was nominated with the help of Lejowa. They resolved to take up the issue with senior party officials to stop the newly nominated councillor from going to council next week. The BDP members expressed shock that a person they do not know and who was not available in a meeting to elect possible candidates for nomination got the nod.

They threatened never to vote or instead to defect to an opposition party en-masse if the issue is not resolved to their satisfaction.
