BPF Has No Alliance with UDC Outside Parliament
The Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) president, Mephato Reatile, stated that the party has no arrangement with the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) outside of Parliament and councils.
It was hard to contest alone last year, but I decided to leave the UDC because it was what the members wanted.
Reatile emphasized that the decision to quit the UDC was a popular demand from BPF members, not a sole decision by him.
- The BPF is preparing to contest the Kgalagadi South by-election against the UDC.
- Reatile is seeking to defend his presidency at the party's elective congress on November 1 in Serowe.
