Three "fed up" councillors quit BDP for BMD

Announcing their resignation at a media conference yesterday, the councillor for Tlogatloga, Tshepo Moloko, said he was leaving the ruling party because it had abandoned its democratic principles and that the party was under one-man rule and a clique of his friends in the so-called A-Team faction.

"President Ian Khama and his faction are running that party," Moloko said. "They are not keen to listen to us or anyone else with a dissenting voice. So we have decided to leave them with their party and come to the BMD."
