Peloetletse Lambasts BCP President

Saleshando was speaking at a seminar organised by Ditshwanelo and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung on issues affecting democracy in Botswana.

In his presentation, the BCP leader, said the first-past-the-post electoral system used in Botswana is not good because it excludes minorities like "in the Central District where we have Basarwa groups. Which party will field a Motswana of Mosarwa origin in the Central District as a candidate? This system (First Past the Post) also does not attract a lot of women and the IEC has always called for a review of the system. There should be a national debate on it," he said.
