Molale face-to-face with BOFEPUSU

The 2019 general election promises to be the most gruesome the country has ever had. It is going to be a do-or-die for the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). If for the past five elections the BDP could afford the luxury of taking the opposition for granted, this time around it can only do that at its own peril.  Alive to the looming danger, the BDP has decided to go on the offensive in opposition held constituencies on a date to be announced after a recent postponement.

Early primary elections will be held in some constituencies while in others compromises will be clinched. Never short of controversy, the BDP’s Bulela Ditswe primaries has attracted controversy again before it could even start in opposition held constituencies with some section of the party challenging the participation of civil servants in the party internal democracy.
