Will Letshabo replace Tlou?

Can Tlou contest the by-election without resigning her position as Specially Elected Member of Parliament? Can she continue carrying on as minister of Health while she is not an MP? If she resigns as an MP, how soon can Parliament fill the vacancy? Would the BNF's Dr Kathleen Letshabo, who was the number five in the list of parliamentary nominations by law to take up the vacancy that Tlou's resignation would create, be standing in line?

These are the many key questions that the minister together with the Botswana Democratic Party would have to contend with before Tlou plunges into the Palapye parliamentary by-election.
