Speaker snubs Makgalemele

Despite the fact that Makgalemele, who is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Shoshong, has changed his seat in Parliament, the deputy speaker, Pono Moatlhodi, failed to announce Makgalemele's defection from the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).

Quizzed on why Makgalemele was not recognised as a member of the opposition by the BMD interim committee deputy chairperson, Botsalo Ntuane, Moatlhodi said they have not received any correspondence from Makgalemele declaring his change of allegiance.
