MMADINARE: Botswana Congress Party parliamentary candidate for Mmadinare constituency, Christopher Motsholapheko, has said that he felt compelled to stand because the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) remains unchallenged.

Furthermore, he said could not just sit back and watch even though he is competent enough to represent his party.  Motsholapheko, born in Sefhophe 50 years ago, contested twice and lost against the outgoing area Member of Parliament (MP) Dr Ponatshego Kedikilwe. He won 1,137 votes in 2004 and increased the margin to 2,540 in 2009.  He said even though he has lost to Kedikilwe in past elections, he is motivated to continue trying because he believes in competition. “There was no one who was prepared to contest against Kedikilwe from the opposition or as an independent, so I felt it was my duty to play the role.

“It is still the case now.  I want to give Mmadinare electorates a choice, and a quality choice for that matter,” he added.
