Ntuane In The Palm Of Khama's Hand

If a new twist into what promised to be a tight political battle is anything to go by, Ntuane may not even contest the Nata-Gweta constituency party primaries as an endeavour to appease some BDP top brass.

Those in the know point at the BDP chairman and Vice President, Ian Khama's influence as a strong factor that has set the latest change of Ntuane's heart in motion. Although Ntuane had earlier wanted to please some Nata-Gweta lobbyists, Khama has prevailed over him and it will not come as a surprise that he could disappoint the villagers who view him as a more 'son of the soil' than the incumbent who is regarded as a 'dark horse' despite his popularity for many years.
