NPP tardy on primaries

The BPP secretary general, Edward Mpoloka said the aspirants are still applying to stand for primary elections. "Quite a number of people are filling the forms," said Mpoloka before adding that nobody has submitted yet.

The secretary general revealed that he has not yet completed his form. He has a dilemma. "I have some options to stand for either a parliamentary seat in one of the three Francistown constituencies or a council seat. I haven't made up my mind. I am still weighing my options," he reasoned.
