MP Gaborone set to drop bombshell?

South East North Member of Parliament (MP) Olebile Gaborone will address his last meeting of Botswana National Front (BNF) members in Tlokweng today, according to sources within the party.

Gaborone was expected to hand in his resignation letter to the BNF yesterday but a party member said the legislator decided to address his last meeting in the constituency. The meeting will be held at Magwana Hall at which the MP is expected to drop the bombshell so he can rejoin the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). 

Another source revealed that Gaborone has already written to BDP president Ian Khama, reapplying for membership.  The BNF member said the BDP has for a long time been waiting for Gaborone to tender his resignation to the BNF.  He said Gaborone, who has been holding talks with the BDP, held a similar meeting with BNF members in Tlokweng on Thursday where he announced his pending move.
