The Botswana National Front’s (BNF) National Elections Board has shifted the blame for chaos surrounding the Women’s League to the previous committee, accusing it of poor planning and disregard for proper procedure.

This comes after some members of the previous committee accused the electoral board of conducting elections without voters roll. In an interview, BNF National Elections Board chairperson Chabuya Lowani expressed dismay over accusations from some former committee members, calling their claims hypocritical.

“It’s surprising that some individuals who were part of the former committee are now pointing fingers. As the Elections Board, we had previously warned against registering delegates at the congress itself,” he told Mmegi on Tuesday.
