Some of BDP posters were placed over UDC ones

FRANCISTOWN: The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has come under fire from Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) parliamentary candidate, Justin Hunyepa for running a dirty campaign in Tati-West constituency.

Hunyepa will face BDP parliamentary candidate Simon Moabi in the contest for Tati-West constituency and Botswana Congress Party’s (BCP)'s Leornard Mutheto for the 2024 General Election slated for October 30. Moabi topped Tshepo Makhani of the UDC with 6236 votes, and the Botswana Patriotic Front’s Biggie Butale trailed behind with 1622 and 76 spoilt votes in the 2019 general elections.

According to the disappointed Hunyepa , the BDP has just started advertising their parliamentary and council candidates, but now they have been removing UDC posters which have long been assembled two months ago.
