FRANCISTOWN: Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Tonota South Member of Parliament (MP) Pono Moatlhodi has confirmed that he will write a letter to the party central committee protesting his loss in the party primaries held over the weekend.

Moatlhodi was among the casualties who faulted to book candidacy for the 2014 general election. He lost to President Ian Khama's friend Thapelo Olopeng.

The veteran politician trailed behind with 2,196 votes while Olopeng managed a whopping 3,472. Moatlhodi is of the view that the elections were full of gross irregularities and is hoping that after his protest the results of the primaries will be nullified and a re-run of the polls be held.
