The opposition protests that the EVM was introduced without their consultation.

Seeletso leaves on the grounds of age as the Constitution prescribes that a person holding office, as Secretary of  IEC shall vacate that office on attaining the age of 65 years or such other age as may be prescribed by an Act of Parliament.

“It’s true I will be retiring as per the Constitution. I am leaving the office as a happy man because I have been delivering to Batswana,” Seeletso said.
