The aim is to reset, re-energise, rejuvenate the organisation,\u201d BDP spokesperson, Kagelelo Kentse said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has youth and it can help to attract other youth. The committee is mainly tasked with political education at structures and internal party elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added the reason why the committee has been enlarged is to be able to educate the members about the party.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he said one of the PEEC responsibilities is to educate the members on the important elections and party primary elections (Bulela Ditswe).<\/p>\n<p>Kentse said it is important for members to know the party culture and its policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPEEC\u2019s responsibility is also to take care of election issues, especially during the time of by-elections and general elections. It should always be at the forefront to be prepared for the voters roll and polling stations. They also ensure that party primary elections are free and fair,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
