UDC circus must end

On the agenda was affiliate member, the Botswana Movement for Democracy and its president, Sidney Pilane. It is not for us to tell how parties or coalitions should go about their business. But it is certainly important that we have highly contested general elections, and therefore the status of the opposition matters.

A highly contested election makes those in power to outdo themselves and deliver services to the people. Voter registration is ongoing with few numbers turning up as some feel it is not worth voting, as there is confusion. One of the reasons for that is because there is still confusion about candidates they could vote for. The four parties could be doing much more to encourage more Batswana to register and vote in 2019. Instead they are at war with themselves.
