Opposition question sudden surge in the voters� roll

Mmegi has established that most voters’ rolls in some opposition strongholds have swelled overnight with new additions.

For an example, the Bobonong constituency – which analysts have opinioned that the Botswana Congress Parry (BCP) has made inroads in, has seen a sudden surge, with over 2000 new names to its roll.  When the last registration closes, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) published statistics showed that 15,379 eligible voters had registered in the constituency.  This week, Mmegi discovered that the number in the voters’ rolls had gone up by 2179.
