The names that are being bandied around are those of Gaborone attorney Duma Boko, another Gaborone lawyer Dr Bucks Molatlhegi and the name of current Vice President Olebile Gaborone is also being mentioned as a potential contender.

In one list which is made up of people that were identified with Temporary Platform Molatlhegi heads the list as President, Nehemiah Modubule is Vice President, Akanyang Magama is Secretary General, Lebohang Letsie is Deputy Secretary General, Harry Mothei is Chairperson, Dr Mino Polelo who perished in a car accident last week was identified as publicity secretary, Aubrey Lesaso is Treasurer, Dr Elmon Tafa is Secretary for political education, Maemo Bantsi is Labour secretary, Gabriel Kanjabanga is Secretary for economic affairs, Health secretary is Tiny Kojane, Moses Maoto is to contest for International affairs while Mookane councilor Timothy Mmopi is to contest for the position of Organising secretary.

It appears the Boko and the Gaborone camp are still putting up their lists together or they are keeping their cards close to their chest.However, those close to the two camps say they are just waiting for the party to open up campaign season.

It is understood that party president Otsweletse Moupo is being advised not to contest and it is highly likely that Moupo might not contest.
