The Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) made history yesterday when it ascended to the official opposition after Member of Parliament for Mogoditshane, Patrick Masimolole, defected to the party.

While there was confusion over who the Leader of Opposition is going to be, BMD met late yesterday and agreed to appoint Botsalo Ntuane to the position.
