UDC is relevant � Maundeni

This is despite mounting suggestions that the UDC is losing steam and may not reach the 2019 general elections as a united force, which may ultimately result in the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) sustaining its rule.  For some time, various political pundits and Batswana in general have been expressing optimism that a coherent opposition coalition is the only weapon that can pluck the BDP from decades of power.

Trust levels (in the opposition to be the ruling party’s undoing) became even higher after the 2014 general elections when three of the country’s opposition parties (minus the Botswana Congress Party [BCP]) nearly pulled a surprise win against the ruling party.
