PALAPYE: Khurumela ward councillor, George Makhura says a Bill gazetted recently to curb ‘floor-crossing’ is what hastened his move to join Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF).

Makhura said he feared that had he delayed leaving Botswana Congress Party (BCP) there would have been chances that the Bill passing into law would have prevented his plan to move to the BPF.

BCP’s internal party squabbles within the Palapye constituency also form part of the key reasons why he jumped ship for BPF. Khurumela falls within the constituency.
