UDC constituency divisions deepen :: Mmegi Online

With just five months before the general elections, the Botswana National Front (BNF) is still struggling to resolve constituency allocation issues. At the weekend leadership forum in Shoshong, BNF members are said to have revisited and expressed concern that the party had been hard done in the constituency allocations with other Umbrella partners, Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) and Botswana People's Party (BPP).

Strong in their objections were especially the Mochudi and Francistown members who are said to have expressed their misgivings about the allocation of the constituencies between them and the BMD. They told the forum that they felt disadvantaged when constituencies were allocated.

The BNF, the BMD and BPP will be contesting the October general elections under the partnership of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC).
