Gopolang joins race for BPP presidency

Gopolang’s recent exit from the BDP, the party that he joined in 2007 to rejoin the BPP has heightened speculation that the 56-year-old Nshakazhogwe-born politician is readying himself to take over the BPP leadership.

Gopolang, an independent-minded politician who is always outspoken in the Francistown City Council (FCC) debates told Mmegi this week that he was interested in leading the oldest party in the country if he were given a chance.
