Knives are out for veteran Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) parliamentary Chief Whip Liakat Kablay, whom fellow backbenchers want demoted and replaced by Ghanzi North MP John Thiite.
Information gathered by this publication is that Kablay has fallen out of favor with some BDP backbenchers who now believe he has been won over by Vice President/ BDP Chairman Slumber Tsogwane. Ghanzi North lawmaker Thiite has been identified as Kablay’s replacement as MPs orchestrate an ouster through a motion of no confidence in the upcoming winter Parliament session party caucus.
