BPF back to the drawing board

The party took the local political scene by storm in 2019 following its formation by disgruntled members of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP. The party put up a good fight during the General Election that year although it failed in its mission to oust the ruling party from government.

The BPF, which was formed predominantly by BDP members majority of whom had lost in the ruling party’s primaries, has been experiencing an exodus of members. Most of those who are leaving the party are retracing their steps to their old political home, the BDP. Interestingly, leadership differences at the BPF are not precipitated by ideological differences but rather personal matters.
