Will democrats defy Khama?

Friday, July 07, 2017

Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) members will over the weekend elect a new Central Committee. The most coveted position contested for is that of the chairman where Vice President (VP) Mokgweetsi Masisi faces stiff competition from minister Nonofo Molefhi. President Ian Khama backs his deputy in his re-election bid. Mmegi Staff Writer TSAONE BASIMANEBOTLHE reports
