Mokgweetsi Kgosipula PIC: KENNEDY RAMOKONE

Supporters of Botswana National Front’s (BNF) presidential hopeful, Baatlhodi Molatlhegi, are hoping that the party’s Central Committee (CC) will today (Friday) overrule a decision by the lower structure to suspend one of their supporters, Mokgweetsi Kgosipula.

Both Molatlhegi and incumbent party president, Duma Boko, will be contesting for the party presidency. The suspended Kgosipula is one of campaign managers of the Molatlhegi team.

The first leg of the primaries was held last weekend, with the final leg being billed for the coming weekend. This time around, the BDP failed to shine in its primary elections. The elections were chaotic; most if not all polling stations didn't open at the specified time of 6am. Loyal BDP members braved the...
