BNF gives ultimatum to defaulting MPs and cllrs

The party conference decided over the weekend that the intervention of wards and constituencies will be sought to deal with the defaulters before the deadline. The conference resolved that the party's primary elections' regulations should be reviewed and campaigns for the next general elections should start soon.

BNF president Duma Boko assured members that the party will not lose its soul in the quest for opposition cooperation for the general elections. He urged the BNF leadership to educate members on the umbrella model of cooperation adopted by the major opposition parties. Boko said that after the strike by civil servants, it has become apparent that the time for a fragmented and splintered opposition is over. "Any opposition party that is still interested in engaging in politics like an independent warlord will be swept aside by the great movement of history; it will place itself on the brink of complete irrelevance," he said.
